The  Committee  appointed  by  the  General  Synod  at  Wooster,  O.,  to  prepare  and  have 
published  a  Hymn  and  Tune  Book,  using  the  hymns  contained  in  the  Book  of  Worship 
in  their  jiresent  order  and  number,  and  to  add  to  the  collection  a  suitable  translation  of 
Luthers  Battle  Hymn,  " Ein'  feste  Burg  ist  unser  Gott,"  together  with  an  appropriate 
number  of  Chants  and  Anthems,  have  accomplished  their  work  to  the  best  of  their 
ability,  and  herewith  submit  the  result  of  their  labors. 

It  is  but  just  to  say  that  the  Committee  received  important  aid  and  suggestions  from 
many  able  and  experienced  writers  of  music  and  leaders  of  choirs  in  the  Lutheran 
Church ;  besides  which,  the  Committee  availed  itself,  as  far  as  practicable,  of  the  best 
results  of  all  the  best-known  and  most  popular  Hymn  and  Tune  Books  and  Note  Books 
extant.  From  this  wide  field  it  collected  the  music  it  has  used.  In  the  choice  of  its 
tunes  it  was  governed  by  the  following  general  principles : — 

1.  Use  no  tunes  but  those  of  well-tried  merit. 

2.  Combine  devotional  fitness  with  musical  excellence. 

3.  Study  aidaptation. 

The  first  principle,  whilst  not  ruling  out  new  and  popular  music,  nevertheless 
inclined  the  Committee  to  prefer  the  old  and  well-tried  tunes.  The  old  wine  was  to 
be  preferred,  whilst  the  good  new,  which  may  also  improve  with  age,  was  not  to  be 
discarded. 

The  second  principle  led  the  Committee  to  inquire  into  the  chureldy  character  of  the 
tune,  and  to  consider  whether  it  is  calculated  to  awaken  and  express  the  feelings  and 
sentiments  of  a  devout  and  spiritual  worshiper. 

The  third  principle  led  the  Committee  to  consider  the  spirit  of  the  tunc  and  the 
hymn  conjointly,   and  inquire  how  far  they  harmonized  in  utterance,  feeling  and 

8 


PKEFACE. 

temper,  so  that  the  soul  of  adoration,  joy,  penitence,  resignation,  hope,  &c.,  might  be 
uttered  in  fitting  musical  expression.  This  pruiciple  determined  the  Committee  to 
lireserve  that  relation,  wherever  it  could  be  determined,  which  time  and  a  conscnsris 
ol"  us;ige  had  established  between  certain  hymns  and  their  tunes.  Thus  they  w  ould 
not  put  asunder  what  had  long  been  joined  together  in  the  minds  of  the  great 
multitude  of  worsliipors  in  all  the  churches, — such  as  Old  Hundred  and  the  1st  hymn  ; 
Coronation  and  tlie  14i)th ;  Bethany  and  the  393d;  &c.,  &c.  The  fact  that  such  a 
relation  of  lu^mn  and  tune  had  been  widely  and  firmly  estahlislied,  was  accepted  as 
proof  that  our  third  principle  had  found  its  pro})er  expression  and  vindication. 

In  some  instances — where  the  relaticm  has  not  been  so  well  determined  by  usage,  or 
where  it  w:is  believed  to  be  merely  provincial,  or  not  founded  on  the  best  judgment — 
the  Committee  has  used  its  own  discretion,  and  separated  or  combined  in  a  manner 
wliich  may  not  always  meet  the  approval  of  those  who  have  been  accustomed  to  a 
certain  local  usage,  or  to  associations  of  music  and  words  grooving  out  of  peculiar 
circumstances  and  experiences. 

At  all  events,  there  must  always  be  in  a  question  so  delicate  and  largely  subjective 
as  that  concerning  the  agreement  of  a  tune  to  a  hymn,  a  great  diversity  of  judgment 
and  taste  among  different  i)ersons  even  of  good  practical  and  musical  discernment  and 
api)reciation.  To  meet  this  condition,  the  Committee  has,  as  far  as  was  possible,  offered 
more  than  one  tunc  on  the  same  page  to  the  same  hymn. 

The  translation  of  "  Feste  Burg"  is  that  of  the  Chairman ;  and  it  is  hoped  that  it 
may  afford  the  lovers  of  the  great  original  classic  something  of  the  inspiration  which 
those  can  feel  who  sing  it  in  Luther's  almost  untranslatable  German. 

It  is  devoutly  hoped  by  the  Committee,  in  submitting  their  work  to  the  Church,  that 
it  may  serve  the  end  so  much  sought  in  prayer  and  aimed  at  in  all  its  labor, — that 
of  aiding  all  who  use  it  to  "  offer  up  spiritual  sacrifices,  acceptable  to  God  by  Jesua 
Christ  in  psalms  and  hymns  and  spiritual  songs,  singing  with  grace  in  their  hearts 
U)  the  Lord."

O  Lord,  open  Thou  my  lips,  and  my  mouth  shall  show  forth  Thy  praise. 
For  Thou  desirest  not  sacrifice,  else  would  I  give  it ;  Thou  delightest  not  in 
burnt  offerings.  The  sacrifices  of  God  are  a  broken  spirit ;  a  broken  and  a 
contrite  heart,  O  God,  Thou  wilt  not  despise. 

Let  the  words  of  my  mouth,  and  the  meditation  of  my  heart,  be  acceptable

The  Confession  of  Sin. 

Dearly  Beloved  :  the  Holy  Scrijjturcs  declare,  that  when  the  wicked 
man  turneth  away  from  his  wickedness,  and  doeth  that  which  is  lawful  and 
right,  he  shall  save  his  soul  alive.  The  sacrifices  of  God  are  a  broken  and 
a  contrite  heart.  To  the  Lord  belong  mercies  and  forgivenesses,  though  wc 
have  rebelled  against  Him.  Let  us  therefore  confess  our  sins  UAto  our 
Father,  with  sincere,  humble,  and  obedient  hearts,  that  we  may  obtain  remis- 
sion of  the  same  by  His  infinite  goodness  and  mercy. 

LET  US  PRAY. 

Almi(;iity  and  most  uurciful  Father,  unto  whom  all  hearts  arc  open,  and 

all    desires    arc    known,  all    whose   commandments  arc  just,  necessary,  and 

good  ;  we  confess  unto  Thee,  that  we  have  erred  and  strayed  from  Thy  ways 

like  lost  sheep.     AVe  have  followed  too  much  the  devices  and  desires  of  our 

own  hearts.    We  have  ofl^(>nded  against  Thy  holy  laws.    Wc  have  left  undone 

those  things  which  we  ought  to  have  done;  and  wc  have  d(me  those  things

judgment  with  us ;  for  in  Thy  sight  shall  no  man  living  be  justified.  As 
Thou  desirest  not  the  death  of  a  sinner,  hut  that  he  may  turn  from  his 
wickedness  and  live — have  mercy,  O  Lord,  upon  us,  miserable  offenders. 
Spare  Thou  those,  O  God,  who  confess  their  faults.  Restore  Thou  those 
who  are  truly  penitent,  according  to  Thy  gracious  promises  declared  unto 
mankind  in  Christ  Jesus  our  Lord.  And  grant,  O  most  merciful  Father, 
that  we  may  hereafter  live  a  godly,  righteous,  and  sober  life,  to  the  glory  of 
Thy  holy  name,  through  Thy  blessed  Son,  our  Mediator  and  Redeemer.

0  Almighty  God,  our  Heavenly  Father,  who  of  Thy  great  mercy  hast 
promised  forgiveness  of  sins  to  all  them  that  with  hearty  repentance  and 
true  faith  turn  unto  Thee ;  have  mercy  upon  us,  pardon  and  deliver  us  from 
all  our  sins,  confirm  and  strengthen  us  in  all  goodness,  and  bring  us  to  ever-

And  in  Jesus  Christ  His  only  Son,  our  Lord ;  Who  was  conceived  by  the

God  be  merciful  unto  us,  and  bless  us :  And  cause  His  face  to  shine  u])on  us. 
That  Thy  ^vay  may  be  known  upon  earth ;  Thy  saving  health  ainoni;  all 
nations. 

Let  the  people  praise  Thee,  O  God :  Let  all  the  people  praise  Thee. 

Then  shall  the  earth  yield  her  increase :  And  God,  even  our  own  God, 
shall  bless  us. 

God  shall  bless  us:  And  all  the  ends  of  the  earth  shall  fear  Him.

Make  a  joyful  noise  unto  the  l^ord,  all  ye  lands:  Serve  the  Lord  with 
gladness ;  come  before  His  i)resence  with  singing. 

Know  ye  that  the  Lord  He  is  God ;  It  is  He  that  hath  made  us,  and  not 
we  ourselves:  We  are  His  people,  and  the  sheep  of  His  pasture. 

Enter  into  His  gates  with  thanksgivinir,  and  into  His  courts  with  praise : 
Be  thankful  unto  Him,  and  bless  His  Kame. 

For  the  Lord  is  goo<l ;  His  mercy  is  everlasting:  And  His  truth  endureth 
to  all  generations. 

3.  VENITE  EXULTEMUS  DOMINO.    Ps.  icv. 

O  coMi:,  let  us  sing  unto  the  Lord  :  Let  us  make  a  joyful  noise  to  the  I\ock 
of  our  salvntioii. 

Let  us  come  before  His  presence  with  tluiid^sgiving:  And  make  a  joyful 

noise  unto  Him  with  psalms.

EVENING  SERVICE. 

In  His  hand  are  the  deep  places  of  the  earth :  The  strength  of  the  hills  is 
His  also. 

The  sea  is  His,  and  He  made  it :  And  His  hands  formed  the  dry  land. 

0  come,  let  us  worship  and  bow  down :  Let  us  kneel  before  the  Lord  our 
Maker. 

For  He  is  our  God :  And  we  are  the  people  of  His  pasture,  and  the  sheep 

of  His  hand. 

4.  LAETATUS  SUM.    Ps.  cxxii. 

1  WAS  glad  when  they  said  unto  me.  Let  us  go  into  the  house  of  the  Lord ; 
our  feet  shall  stand  within  thy  gates,  O  Jerusalem. 

Pray  for  the  peace  of  Jerusalem :  They  shall  prosper  that  love  thee. 
Peace  be  within  thy  walls :  And  prosperity  within  thy  palaces. 

5.  LAVABO  INTEE  INNOCENTES.    Ps.  xxvi. 

I  WILL  wash  mine  hands  in  innocency:  So  will  I  compass  Thine  Altar,  O 
Lord. 

That  I  may  publish  with  the  voice  of  thanksgiving :  And  tell  of  all  Thy 
wondrous  works. 

Lord,  I  have  loved  the  habitation  of  Thy  house :  And  the  place  where 
Thine  honor  dwelleth.

The  Confession  of  Sins. 

Dearly  Beloved :  If  we  say  that  we  have  no  sin,  we  deceive  ourselves, 
and  the  truth  is  not  in  us.  But  if  we  confess  our  sins,  God  is  faithful  and 
just  to  forgive  us  our  sins,  and  to  cleanse  us  from  all  unrighteousness.  Let 
U3  therefore  confess  our  sins  unto  God  our  heavenly  Father,  and  humbly 
beseech  Him,  in  the  name  of  our  Lord  Jesus  Christ,  to  grant  us  forgiveness. 

LET  US  PRAY. 

Almighty  and  most  merciful  Father ;  we  poor  sinners  acknowledge  and 
confess  our  manifokl  sins  and  wickedness,  which  we,  from  time  to  time,  have 
committed,  by  thought,  word,  and  deed,  against  Thy  Divine  Majesty.  We 
have  provoked  Thy  wrath  and  indignation  against  us,  and  deserve  at  Thy 
hands  the  punishment  due  to  the  guilty.  But  we  do  earnestly  repent,  and 
are  heartily  sorry  for  these  our  misdoings;  and  we  beseech  Thee,  of  Thy 
great  goodness,  to  have  mercy  upon  us.  Pardon  and  deliver  us  from  all  our 
gins ;  confirm  and  strengthen  us  in  all  goodness ;  and  bring  us  to  everlasting 
life ;  for  the  sake  of  Thy  dear  Son,  Jesus  Christ  our  Lord.

LEVA VI  OCULOS  MEOS.    Ps.  cxxi. 

I  WILL  lift  up  mine  eyes  unio  the  hills,  from  whence  cometh  my  help. 

My  help  cometh /row  the  Lord  which  made  heaven  and  earth. 

He  will  not  suffer  thy  foo^  to  be  moved;  He  that  keepeth  thee  will  not  slumber. 

Behold,  he  that  keepeth  Israel,  shall  neither  slumber  nor  sleep. 

The  Lord  is  thy  keeper;  The  Lord  is  thy  shade  upon  thy  right  hand. 

The  sun  shall  not  smite  thee  by  day,  nor  the  moon  by  night. 

The  Lord  shall  preserve  thee/ro?M  all  evil;   He  shall  preserve  thy  soul. 

The  Lord  shall  preserve  thy  going  out,  and  thy  coming  in,  from  this  time 
forth,  and  even  far  evermoie. 

Glory  be  to  the  Father,  anu  vo  the  Son,  and  to  the  Holy  Ghost; 

As  it  was  in  the  beginning,  is  now,  and  ever  shall  be,  world  without  end.    Amen. 

Or  this: 
BONUM  EST  CONFITEEL    Ps.  xcii. 
It  is  a  good  thing  to  give  thanks  unto  the  Lord,  and  to  sing  praises  unto 
Thy  name,  0  Most  Highest. 

To  tell  ot  thy  loving  kindness  early  in  the  morning,  and  of  Thy  truth  in  the 
night  season. 

Upon  an  instrument  of  ten  strings,  and  upon  the  lute,  upon  a  loud  instru- 
ment, and  upon  the  harp. 

For  Thou,  Lord,  hast  made  me  glad  through  Thy  works,  and  I  will  rejoice 
in  giving  praise  for  the  operations  of  Thy  hands. 

Glory  be  to  the  Father,  and  to  the  Son,  and  to  the  Holy  Ghost; 
As  it  was  in  the  beginning,  is  now,  and  ever  shall  be,  world  without  ena.    Amen.

THE  MAQNITICAT,    Luke  L 

My  soul  doth  magnify  the  Lord:  ami  my  spirit  hath  rejoiced  in  God  my 
Saviour. 

For  He  hath  regarded :  the  low  estate  of  His  handmaiden. 

For  behold, /ro)?i  henceforth:  all  geuera<to;w  aliall  call  me  blessed. 

For  He  that  is  mighty  hath  done  to  me  great  things:  and  holy  is  His  Name. 

And  His  mercy  is  on  them  that  fear  Him :  from  general  ^o?i.  to  generation. 

He  hath  showed'  strength  ivith  His  arm :  He  hath  scattered  the  proud  in 
the  imagi«aY/ou  of  their  hearts. 

He  hath  put  down  the  mighty  fi'om  their  seats:  and  exalted  them  of  low 
degree. 

He  hath  filled  the  hungry  with  good  thi)igs :  and  the  rich  He  hath  sent 
empty  away. 

He  hath  holpen  His  servant  Israel,  in  remembrance  of  His  mercy:  as  He 
spake  to  our  fathers,  to  Abraham,  and  to  his  seed,  forever. 

Glory  be  to  the  Father,  and  to  the  Son,  and  to  the  Holy  Ghost; 

As  it  was  in  the  beginning,  is  now,  and  ever  sJiall  be,  world  without  end.

From  Psalms  xiv.  Ixxxix.  ex.

•will  I  ever  be  showing  Thy  truth  from  one  genera/io/i  |  to  "  an-  |  o-"  —  |  ther. 


For   I   have  said,  Mercy   shall  be  set  up  \  for 
8tab-lish  I  in  "  the  |  heavens.

The  Lord  is  |  our  "  de-  |  fence :  ||  the  Holy  Cue  \  chos  en  ]  out  "  of  the  |  people. 

Thou  spakest  sometime  in  visions  unto  Thy  saints,  \  and  "  —  \  saidst :  ||  I  have  laid 
help  upon  One  that  is  mighty  ;  I  have  exalted  One  \  chos-en  |  out  "  of  the  |  people. 

I  will  set  His  dominion  |  in  "  the  |  sea :  ||  and  His  right  "  hand  |  in  "  the  |  floods. 

And  I  will  make  Him  \  my  "  First-  |  born:  ||  higher  \  than  "  the  |  Kings  "  of  the  | 
earth. 

The  Lord  said  un-  |  to  "  my  |  Lord:  i|  Sit  Thou  on  my  right-hand,  until  I    make 
Thine  |  enemies  |  Thy  "  —  |  footstool. 

The  Lord  shall  send  the  rod  of  Thy  power  \  out  "  of  |  Sion  :  ||  be  Thou  ruler  even  in

VIRUM   DOLORUM. 


REV.  W.  FELTON. 


Isaiah  liii. 

He  is  despised  and  re-  |  jected  of  |  men ;  |j  a  man  of  sorrows  and  ac-  j  quainted  | 
•with —  I  grief. 

And  we  hid  as  it  were  our  ]  faces  |  from  him  ;  ||  he   was  despised,  and  |  we  es-  | 
teemed  him  |  not. 

Surely  he  hath  borne  our  griefs,  and  |  carried  our  ]  sorrows :  jj  yet  we  did  esteem  him 
stricken,  ;  smitten  of  |  God,  *  '  and  af-  |  flicted. 

But  he  was   woundpd  for  |  our  trans-  |  gressions,  ||  he  was    bruised    for  |  our    in-  | 
iqui-  I  ties; 

The  chastisement  of  our  peace  ]  was  up-  |  on  him,  ||  and  with  his  |  stripes —  |  we  are  | 
healed. 

All  we  like  sheep  have  |  gone  a-  |  stray;  jj  we  have  turned  every  |  one  to  |  his  own  |  way; 

And  the  Lord  hath  i  laid  on  j  him  ||  the  in-  j  iquity  I  of  us  j  all. 

When  thou  shalt  make  his  soul  an  j  offering  *  '  for  |  sin,  ||  he  shall  see  his  seed,  he  | 
shall  pro-  |  long  his  |  days. 

And  the  pleasure  of  the  Lord  shall  prosper  |  in  his  j  hand.     |  Pie  shall  see  of  the 
travail  of  his  soul,  and  ',  shall  be  1  satis-  j  fied.

Psalm  xlvi. 
God  is  onr  '  refuge  '    and  I  strength, 
A  very  ]  present  j  help  in  |  trouble. 
Therefore  will  not  we  fear,  though  the  |  earth  '  '  be  re- 


mov-ed, 


And  though  the  mountains  be  carried  into  the  |  midst  of  |  the —  |  sea. 

Though  the  waters  thereof  roar,  |  and  be  ]  troubled. 

Though  the  mountains  shake  with  the     swelling     there '  of. 

There  is  a  river,  the  streams  whereof  shall  make  glad  the  1  city  •  "  cf  |  God; 

The  holy  place  of  the  tabernacle  1  of  the  |  Most —  j  High, 

God  is  in  the  midst  of  her,  she  shall  i  not  be  |  raov-ed, 

God  shall  help  her  and  :  that —  |  right —  |  early. 

The  heavens  rag-ed.  the  |  kingdoms  *  "  were  |  mov-ed, 

He  uttered  his  |  voice,  the  |  earth —  |  melted. 

The  Lord  of  |  Hosts  is  |  with  us ; 

The  God  of  |  Jacob  |  is  our  ]  refuge. 

Come,  behold  the     works  "  *  of   the  |  Lord, 

What  desolations  he  hath  j  made —  |  in  the  |  earth, 
j      He  maketh  wars  to  cease  unto  the  |  end  '  '  of  the  |  earth ; 

1     He  break eth  the  bow,  and  cutteth  the  spear  in  sunder ;  he  bumeth  the  |  chariot  | 
i  in  the  |  fire. 

Be  still,  and  know  that  |  I  am    |  God ; 

I  uill  be  exalted  among  the  heathen,  and  I  will  be  ex-  ]  alted  ]  in  the  [  earth. 

The  Lord  of  |  hosts  is  [  with  us ; 
j     The  God  of  |  Jacob  |  is  our  ]  refuge. 
1     Glory  be  to  the  Father,  and  to  the  Son,  and  to  the  i  Holy  |  Ghost ; 

As   it   was  in    the    beginning,   is  now,  and   ever   shall   be   |  world  with-  *  '  out  |

Wliicli  hutli  us  now  o'ertaken. 
The  okl  angry  foe 
Now  means  us  deadly  woe  ; 
Deep  guile  and  great  might 
Are  his  dread  arms  in  fight, — 
On  earth  is  not  his  equal. 
In  our  own  strength  can  naught  be  done 

Our  loss  were  soon  iJTected  :

Ask  you  who  frees  us  ?

And  were  the  world  with  devils  filled, 

All  waiting  to  devour  us  ; 
We'll  still  succeed,  so  (rod  hath  willed. 
They  cannot  overjiower  us  : 
The  Prince  of  this  world 
To  hell  shall  be  hurled  ; 
He  seeks  to  alarm. 
P)Ut  shall  do  us  no  harm  : 
The  smallest  "SVord  can  fell  him. 
The  Word  they  still  must  let  remain, 

And  for  that  have  no  nu>rit  ; 
For  he  is  with  us  on  the  plain. 
By  his  good  gifts  and  Si)irit  : 
Destroy  they  our  life. 
Goods,  fnne.  child  and  wife? 
Let  all  i)iiss  amain, 
Tliey  still  no  c(m(|uest  gain, 
For  ours  is  still  the  kingdom.

Before  Jehovah's  awful  throne, 
Ye  nations,  bow  with  sacred  jov; 

Know  that  the  Lord  is  God  alone': 
He  can  create,  and  He  destroy. 

His  sov'reign  power,  without  our  aid, 
Made  us  of  clay,  and  forin'd  us  men. 

And,  when  like  wand'ring  sheep  we  stray' 
He  brought  us  to  His  fold  again. 

We  are  His  people,  we  His  care, 

Our  souls  and  all  our  mortal  frame: 


I  >' 


What  lasting  honors  shall  we  rear 
Almighty  Maker,  to  Thy  name! 

4  We'll  crowd  Thy  gates  with  thankful  songs, 

High  as  the  heavens  our  voices  raise ; 
And  earth,  with  her  ten  thousand  tongues. 
Shall  hllThycourts  with  sounding  praise. 

5  Wide  as  the  world  is  Thy  command  ; 

Vast  as  eternity  Tliy  love;

Oh,  bless  tlie  Lord,  my  soul ! 

Let  all  within  nie  join, 
And  aid  my  tongue  to  bless  His  name 

Whose  favors  are  divine. 
Oh.  bless  tlie  Lord,  my  soul ! 

Nor  let  his  mereies  lie 
Forgotten  in  unthankfulness, 

And  witlKJUt  praises  die. 
'Tis  lie  forgives  thy  sins; 

'Tis  lie  relieves  thy  pain  ; 
'Tis  He  that  heals  Thy  sicknesses, 

And  gives  thee  strength  again.

4  He  crowns  thy  life  with  love, 
When  rescued  from  the  grave, 

He,  that  redeem'd  our  souls  from  death, 
Hath  boundless  power  to  save. 

5  He  fills  the  poor  with  good ; 
He  gives  the  sulf 'rers  rest. 

The  Lord  hath  justice  for  the  proud, 
And  mercy  for  the  oi)pre^s'd. 

6  His  wondrous  works  and  ways 
He  made  by  Moses  known  ; 

But  sent  the  world  His  truth  and  grace

1  My  soul,  repeat  His  praise 

Whose  mercies  are  so  great; 
Whose  anger  is  so  slow  to  rise, 
So  ready  to  abate. 

2  Ood  will  not  always  chide; 

And,  wlien  His  wrath  is  felt, 
His  strokes  are  fewer  than  our  crimes. 
And  lighter  than  our  guilt. 

3  High  as  the  heavens  are  raised 

Above  the  ground  we  tread, 

So  far  the  riches  of  His  grace, 

Our  highest  thoughts  exceed 

4  His  grace  suhdu<'s  our  sins, 

And  His  forgiving  love 


Far  as  the  east  is  from  the  west 
Doth  all  our  guilt  remove. 

5  The  pity  of  the  Lord, 

To  those  who  fear  His  name. 
Is  sucJi  as  tender  parents  feel ; 
He  knows  our  feeble  frame. 

6  Our  days  are  as  the  grass, 

Or  like  the  morning  flower! 
If  one  sharp  blast  sweep  o'er  the  field, 
'     It  withers  in  an  hour. 

7  But  Thy  comi)assions,  I><ird, 

To  endless  years  endure; 
And  children's  children  ever  find 
Thy  words  of  promise  sure.

My  (jrod,  my  King,  Thy  various  praise 
Shall  fill  the  remnant  of  my  days  ; 
Thy  grace  employ  my  humble  tongue, 
Till  death  and  glory  raise  the  song. 
The  wings  of  ev'ry  hour  shall  bear 
Some  thankful  tribute  to  thine  ear  ; 
And  every  setting  sun  shall  see 
New  works  of  dutv  done  for  Thee. 


Let  distant  times  and  nations  raise 
The  long  succession  of  Thy  praise ; 
And  unborn  ages  make  my  song 
The  joy  and  triumph  of  their  tongue. 
But  who  can  speak  Thy  wondrous  deeds? 
Thy  greatness  all  our  thoughts  exceeds; 
Vast  and  unsearchable  Thy  ways  ! 
Vast  and  immortal  be  thy  praise  !

Where  two  or  three,  with  sweet  accord. 
Obedient  to  their  sov'reign  Lord, 
Meet  to  recount  His  acts  of  grace, 
And  offer  solemn  prayer  and  praise — 
"  There,"  says  the  Saviour,  "  will  I  be. 
Amid  this  little  company  ; 
To  them  unveil  my  smiling  face. 
And  shed  my  glories  round  the  place." 
We  meet  at  Thy  command,  dear  Lord, 
Relying  on  Thy  faithful  word  ; 
Now  send  Thy  Spirit  from  above, 
Now  fill  our  hearts  with  heavenlv  love. 

24 

Away  from  ev'ry  mortal  care. 
Away  from  earth,  our  souls  retreat ; 


We  leave  this  worthless  world  afar, 
And  wait  and  worship  near  Thy  seat. 

2  Lord,  in  the  temples  of  Thy  grace, 

We  bow  before  Thee  and  adore ; 
We  view  the  glories  of  Thy  face. 

And  learn  the  wonders  of  Thy  power. 

3  Whilst  here  our  various  wants  we  mourn, 

United  prayers  ascend  on  high ; 
And  faith  expects  a  sure  return 

From  Him  who  hears  our  feeble  cry. 

4  Father  I  my  soul  would  here  abide  ; 

Or,  if  my  feet  must  hence  depart, 
Still  kee])  me.  Father,  near  Thy  side, 
Still  keep  Thv  dwelling  in  my  heart,

1  Lord  of  the  Sabbath  !  hear  our  vows 
On  this  Thy  day,  in  this  Thy  house; 
And  own  as  grateful  sacrifice 

The  songs  which  from  Thy  Church  arise. 

2  Thine  earthly  sabbaths,  Lord,  we  love ; 
But  there's  a  nobler  rest  above  : 

Thy  servants  to  that  rest  aspire 
With  ardent  hope  and  strong  desire. 

3  There  languor  shall  no  more  oppress ; 
The  heart  shall  feel  no  more  distress ; 


No  groans  shall  mingle  with  the  songs 
That  dwell  upon  immortal  tongues. 
Xo  gloomy  cares  shall  there  annoy, 
No  conscious  guilt  disturb  our  joy; 
But  ev'ry  doubt  and  fear  shall  cease, 
And  perfect  love  give  x>erfect  peace. 
When  shall  that  glorious  day  begin. 
Beyond  the  reach  of  death  or  sin  ; 
Whose  sun  shall  never  more  decline 
But  with  unfading  lustre  shine  I

O  Lord  of  Hosts.  Thy  dwellings  are  1 
With  long  desire  my  spirit  faints 
To  meet  tli'  assemblies  of  Thy  saints.

My  panting  heart  cries  out  for  God  : 
My  God  !  my  King !  why  should  I  be 
So  far  from  all  my  joy  and  Thee ! 
Blest  are  the  saints,  who  sit  on  high, 
Around  Thy  throne  above  the  sky  :

Thy  brightest  glories  shine  above, 
And  all  their  work  is  praise  and  love. 
Blest  are  the  souls,  who  find  a  place 
Within  the  temple  of  Thy  grace; 
There  they  behold  Thy  gentler  raj's. 
And  seek  Thy  face,  and  learn  Thy  i)raise.

To  find  the  way  to  Zion's  gate :

Or  raise  so  high  my  cheerful  voice.

1  The  Lord  is  King !  lift  up  thy  voice. 


O  earth,  and  all  ve  heavens 


rejoice 


From  world  to  world  the  joy  shall  ring: 
"  The  Lord  omnipotent  is  King!  " 
The  Lord  is  King!  who  then  shall  dare 
Resist  His  will,  distrust  His  care? 
Holy  and  true  are  all  His  ways : 
Let  every  creature  speak  His  praise. 


Tlie  Lord  is  King !  exalt  your  strains : 
Ye  saints,  your  God,  your  Father  reigns; 
One  Lord  one  empire  all  secures  : 
Lie  reigns,  and  life  and  death  are  yours. 
Oh,  when  His  wisdom  can  mistake, 
His  might  decay,  His  love  forsake, 
Then  may  His  children  cease  to  sing, 
"  The  Lord  omnipotent  is  King  !  "

How  bright  on  higli  its  glories  blaze, 

How  sweetly  bloom  below  ! 
It  streams  froni  Thine  eternal  throne; 
Through  heaven  its  joys  forever  run, 

And  o'er  the  earth  they  flow. 

2  It  robes  in  cheerful  green  the  ground, 
And  pours  its  llowery  beauties  round. 

Whose  sweets  perfume  the  gale: 
Its  bounties  riclily  sj^read  the  plain. 
The  ])lushing  fruit,  the  golden  grain, 

And  smile  on  every  vale. 


3  But  in  Thy  Gospel  see  it  shine. 
With  grace  and  glories  more  divine, 

Proclaiming  sins  forgiven. 
There  faith,  bright  cherub,  points  the  way 
To  realms  of  everlasting  day, 

And  opens  all  her  heaven. 

4  Tlien  let  the  love  that  makes  me  blest. 
With  cheerful  praise  inspire  my  breast. 

And  ardent  gratitude ; 
And  all  my  thoughts  and  passions  tend 
To  Thee,  my  Father  and  my  Friend, 

My  soul's  eternal  good.

And  rides  upon  the  storm.

BOYNTON 


Judge  not  the  Lord  by  feeble  sense, 

But  trust  Him  for  His  grace ; 
Behind  a  frowning  providence 

He  hides  a  smiling  face. 
His  purposes  will  ripen  fast, 

Unfolding  ev'ry  hour; 
The  bud  may  have  a  bitter  taste. 

But  sweet  will  be  the  flower. 
Blind  unbelief  is  sure  to  err. 

And  scan  His  work  in  vain, 
God  is  His  own  interpreter.

1  Thy  way,  0  God,  is  in  the  sea, 

Thy  paths  I  cannot  trace, 
Nor  comprehend  the  mystery 
Of  Thine  unbounded  grace. 

2  Here  the  dark  veils  of  flesh  and  sense 

My  captive  soul  surround  ; 
Mysterious  deeps  of  providence 
My  wandering  thoughts  confound. 

3  As  through  a  glass,  I  dimly  see 

The  wonders  of  Thy  love, 


99 


How  little  do  I  know  of  Thee, 

Or  of  the  joys  above ! 
'Tis  but  in  part  I  know  Thy  will, 

I  bless  Thee  for  the  sight ; 
Wlicn  will  Thy  love  the  rest  reveal 

In  glory's  clearer  light? 
With  raptures  shall  I  then  survey 

Thy  j)rovidencc  and  grace  ; 
And  spend  an  everlasting  day 

In  wonder,  love  and  praise-

1  Father,  I  know  that  all  my  life 

Is  portion'd  out  by  Thee  ; 
The  changes  that  will  surely  come 

I  do  not  fear  to  see  : 
I  ask  Thee  for  a  present  mind, 

Intent  on  pleasing  Thee. 

2  I  ask  Thee  for  a  thoughtful  love, 

Through  constant  watching  wise, 
To  meet  the  glad  with  joyful  smiles, 

And  wipe  the  weeping  eyes ; 
A  heart  at  leisure  from  itself. 

To  soothe  and  sympathize. 

3  I  would  not  have  the  restless  will 

That  hurries  to  and  fro. 
That  seeks  for  some  great  thing  to  do, 

Or  secret  thing  to  know  : 
I  would  be  treated  as  a  child, 

And  guided  where  I  go. 


4  TVherever  in  the  world  I  am, 

In  whatsoe'er  estate, 
I  have  a  fellowship  with  hearts. 

To  keep  and  cultivate ; 
A  work  of  lowly  love  to  do 

For  Him  on  whon\  I  wait. 

5  I  ask  Thee  for  the  daily  strength. 

To  none  that  ask  denied, 
A  mind  to  blend  with  outward  life, 

While  keeping  at  Thy  side  ; 
Content  to  fill  a  little  space, 

If  Tliou  be  glorified. 

6  And  if  some  things  I  do  not  ask, 

Among  my  blessings  be, 
I'd  have  mv  spirit  fill'd  the  more 

With  grateful  love  to  Thee ; 
More  careful,  not  to  serve  Thee  much, 

But  please  Thee  perfectly.

Mercy,  which  like  a  river  flows 
In  one  continued  stream.

God  will  these  powers  restrain  ;

He's  faitiiful  to  His  promises. 

And  faithful  to  His  Son. 
Fear  not  the  terrors  of  the  grave, 

Xor  death's  tremendous  sting:

To  endless  glory  bring.

1  Every  fallen  soul,  by  sinning, 

Merits  everlasting  pain  ; 
But  Thy  love,  without  beginning, 
Has  redeem" d  the  world  again  : 

Countless  millions 
Shall  in  life,  tlirough  Jesus  reign. 

2  Pause,  my  soul,  adore  and  wonder: 

Ask,  "Oh,  why  such  love  to  me?' 
Grace  hath  j)at  mc  in  the  number 
Of  the  Saviour's  family  : 

Hallelujah ! 
Thanks,  eternal  thanks  to  Thee  ! 


3  Since  that  love  had  no  beginning. 
And  shall  never,  never  cease  ; 
Keep,  oh.  keep  me,  Lord;  from  sinning; 

8  113 


Guide  me  in  the  waj'^  of  ])eacc : 

Make  me  walk  in 
All  the  paths  of  holiness. 

When  I  quit  this  feeble  mansion, 
And  my  soul  returns  to  Thee, 

Let  the  power  of  Thy  ascension 
Manifest  itself  in  me; 
Through  Thy  Spirit 
Give  the  final  victory. 

When  the  angel  sounds  the  trumpet  ; 

When  my  soul  aiid  body  join  ; 
W^hcn  my  Saviour  comes  to  judgment. 

Bright  in  majesty  divine. 
Let  me  triumph 

In  Thy  righteousness  as  mine.

Broke  forth  and  discover'd  its  llame;

1  I  was  a  wand' ring  sheep, 

1  did  not  love  the  fold, 
I  did  not  love  my  Shepherd's  voice, 

I  would  not  be  controll'd  : 
1  was  a  wayward  child, 

I  did  not  love  my  home, 
I  did  not  love  my  Father's  voice 

I  loved  afar  to  roam. 

2  The  Shepherd  sought  His  sheep. 

The  Father  sought  His  child, 
He  follow'd  me  o'er  vale  and  hill. 

O'er  deserts  waste  and  wild  ; 
He  found  me  nigh  to  death, 

Famish'd,  and  faint,  and  lone  ; 
He  bound  me  with  the  bands  of  lo', 

He  saved  the  wand'ring  one. 


3  Jesus  my  Shepherd  is, 

'Twas'^He  that  loved  my  soul, 
'Twas  He  that  wash'd  me  in  His  blood, 

'Twas  He  that  made  me  whole ; 
'Twas  He  that  sought  the  lost, 

That  found  the  wand'ring  sheep, 
'Twas  He  that  brought  me  to  the  fold — 

'Tis  He  that  still  doth  keep. 

4  No  more  a  wand'ring  sheep, 

I  love  to  be  controll'd, 
I  love  my  tender  Shepherd's  voice, 

I  love  the  peaceful  fold  : 
No  more  a  wayward  child, 

I  seek  no  more  to  roam, 
I  love  my  Heavenly  Father's  voice — 

I  love,  I  love  His  hon)e.

All  that  I  am  I  owe  to  Thee,

And  taught  me  to  believe  : 
Then,  in  believing,  peace  I  found, 
And  now.  I  live,  I  live!

All  that  I  hope  to  be 
When  Jesus  comes  and  glory  dawns- 
I  owe  it,  L(jrd,  to  Thee.

Well  deserves  the  name  of  Friend ;

Costly,  free,  and  knows  no  end. 

2  Which  of  all  our  friends,  to  save  us. 

Could  or  would  have  slied  his  blood? 
But  this  Saviour  died  to  have  us 
Reconciled  in  Him  to  God. 


When  He  lived  on  earth  abased, 

Friend  of  sinners  was  His  name; 
Now,  above  all  glory  raised. 

He  rejoices  in  the  same. 
Oh,  for  grace  our  hearts  to  soften !

And  join  tli'  angelic  throng  ; 
For  angels  no  such  love  have  known 
T'  awake  a  cheerful  song. 

2  Good  will  to  guihv  men  is  shown, 

And  peace  on  earth  is  given  ; 
For  lo  !  the  incarnate  Saviour  comes, 
A  messenger  from  heaven. 


3  Justice  and  grace,  with  sweet  accord. 
His  rising  beams  adorn  : 


Let  heaven  and  earth  in  concert  join, 
Now  such  a  Child  is  born. 


4  Glory  to  God,  in  highest  strains, 

In  highest  worlds  be  paid  ! 
His^lory  by  our  lips  proclaim'd, 
I  And  by  our  lives  display'd. 

5  When  shall  we  reach  those  blissful  reahns 

Where  Christ  exalted  reigns, 
And  learn  of  yon  celestial  choir 
Their  own  immortal  strains?

1  Ye  saints,  proclaim  abroad 

The  honors  of  your  King ; 

To  Jesus,  your  incarnate  God, 

Your  songs  of  praises  sing. 

2  Not  angels  round  the  throne 

Of  majesty  above, 
Are  half  so  much  obliged  as  we 
To  our  Immanuel's  love. 

3  They  never  sunk  so  low. 

They  are  not  raised  so  high  ; 


They  never  knew  such  depths  of  woe. 
Such  heights  of  majesty. 

4  The  Saviour  did  not  join 

Their  nature  to  His  own  ; 
For  them  He  shed  no  blood  divine, 
Nor  breath'd  a  single  groan. 

5  May  we  with  angels  vie 

The  Saviour  to  adore ; 
Our  debts  are  greater  far  than  theirs 
Oh,  be  our  praises  more  !

A  nobler  mansion  waits  the  just, 

And  Jesus  has  prepared  the  way.

No  :  facing  all  its  frowns  or  smiles,

Which  Thou  on  earth  hast  trod; 
To  man  Thy  wondrous  love  and  grace. 

Thy  faithfulness  to  God  : 
Thy  love,  by  man  so  sorely  tried. 

Proves  stronger  than  the  grave; 
The  very  spear  that  pierced  Thy  side 

Drew  forth  the  blood  to  s^ve.

Unmoved  by  Satan's  subtle  wiles, 

Or  suiF'ring,  shame,  and  loss:

Before  Thee  wo  confess 
How  little  we,  who  bear  Thy  name, 

Thy  mind,  Thy  ways  express. 
Give  us  Thy  meek,  Thy  lowly  mind; 

Wc  would  obedient  be; 
And  all  our  rest  and  pleasure  find 

In  learning,  Lord,  of  Thee.

1  Alas  !  and  did  my  Saviour  bleed, 

And  did  my  Sov'reign  die? 
Would  He  devote  that  sacred  head 
For  sucli  a  worm  as  I  ? 

2  Was  it  for  crimes  tiiat  I  had  done 

He  groand  upon  the  tree? 
Amazing  pitv  !  grace  unknown  ! 
And  love  beyond  degree! 

3  Well  might  the  sun  in  darkness  hide, 

And  sliut  liis  glories  in, 
When  Christ,  the  mighty  Maker,  died 
For  man  the  creature's  sin  ! 

4  TIjus  might  I  hide  my  blushing  face, 

While  ilis  dear  cross  appeai-s  ; 
Dissolve  my  heart  in  thankfulness,    • 

And  melt  my  eyes  to  tears. 
6  But  drops  of  grief  can  ne'er  repay 

The  debt  of  love  I  owe ; 
Here,  Lord.  I  give  mvself  awav, 

'Tis  all  that  I  can  do. 


I  saw  One  hanging  on  a  tree. 

In  agony  and  blood  ; 
Who  fixed  His  languid  eyes  on  me. 

As  near  the  cross  I  stood. 
Sure,  never,  till  my  latest  breath, 

Can  I  forget  that  look  : 
It  seem'd  to  charge  me  with  His  death, 

Though  not  a  word  He  spoke. 
Alas,  I  knew  not  wliat  1  did — 

But  now  my  tears  are  vain  ; 
Where  shall  my  trembling  soul  be  hid, 

For  I  the  Lord  have  slain  ! 
A  second  look  He  gave,  that  said, 

"  I  freely  all  forgive  :

1  O  sacred  Head,  now  wounded, 

With  grief  and  shame  weigh'd  down 
Now  scornfully  surrounded 

With  thorns.  Thine  only  crown  ! 
O  sacred  Head,  what  glory. 

What  bliss,  till  now,  was  Thine! 
Yet,  though  despised  and  gory, 

I  joy  to  call  Thee  mine. 

2  How  art  Thou  pale  with  anguish, 

With  sore  abuse  and  scorn  ! 
How  does  that  visage  languish 

Which  once  was  bright,  as  morn  ! 
Thy  grief  and  Thy  compassion 

Were  all  for  sinners'  gain  ; 
Mine,  mine  was  the  transgression. 

But  Thine  the  deadly  pain. 


What  language  shall  I  borrow 

To  thank  Thee,  dearest  Friend, 
For  this  Thy  dying  sorrow, 

Thy  pity  without  end  ! 
Lord,  make  me  Thine  for  ever, 

Nor  let  me  faithless  prove  ; 
Oh,  let  me  never,  never 

Abuse  such  dying  love  ! 

Forbid  that  I  should  leave  Thee ; 

O  .Jesus,  leave  not  me ; 
By  faith  I  would  receive  Thee; 

Thy  blood  can  make  me  free : 
When  strength  and  comfort  languish, 

And  I  must  hence  depart, 
Release  me  then  from  anguish, 

By  Thine  own  wounded  heart.

1  Behold  th'  amazing  sip^ht, 

The  Saviour  lifted  high! 
Behold  the  Son  of  God's  delight 
Expire  in  agony  I 

2  For  whom,  for  whom,  my  heart, 

Were  all  these  sorrows  borne? 
Why  did  He  feel  that  piercing  smart, 
And  meet  that  various  scorn? 

3  For  love  of  us  He  bled. 

And  all  in  torture  died  ;

'Twas  love  that  bow'd  His  fainting  head, 
And  oped  His  gushing  side. 

4  In  sympathy  of  love 

Let  all  the  earth  combine; 
And,  drawn  by  cords  so  gentle,  prove 
The  energy  divine. 

5  In  Him  our  hearts  unite. 

Nor  share  His  griefs  alone, 
But  from  His  cross  pursue  their  flight 
To  His  triumphant  throne.

"Stricken,  smitten,  and  afflicted, 

See  Him  dying  on  the  tree  ! 
'•Tis  the  Clirist  by  man  rejected; 

Yes,  my  soul,  'tis  lie.  'lis  He  I 
'Tis  the  long-expected  Prophet, 

David's  Son,  vet  Davids  Lord ; 
Proofs  I  see  sufficient  of  it : 

'Tis  a  true  and  faithful  word. 


2  Tell  me,  ye  who  hear  Him  groaning,        i 

Was  there  ever  grief  like  this?  1 

Friends  thro'  fear  His  cause  disowning,  | 

Foes  insulting  His  distress:  1 

Many  hands  were  raised  to  wound  Him,  | 

None  would  interpose  to  save; 
But  the  deepest  stroke  that  pierced  Him 

Was  the  stroke  that  Justice  gave. 


3  Ye  who  think  of  sin  but  lightly, 

Nor  suppose  the  evil  great ; 
Here  may  view  its  nature  rightly, 

Here  its  guilt  may  estimate. 
Mark  the  sacrifice  appointed  ! 

Sec  Who  bears  the  awful  load  ; 
'Tis  the  Word,  the  Lord's  Anointed, 

Son  of  man,  and  Son  of  God. 


4  Here  we  have  a  firm  foundation  ; 

Here's  the  refuge  of  the  lost; 
Christ's  the  Rock  of  our  salvation  : 

His  the  i^amo  of  which  we  boast: 
Lamb  of  God  for  sinners  wounded! 

Sacrifice  to  cancel  guilt ! 
None  shall  ever  be  confounded 

Who  on  Him  their  hope  have  built.

1  Xot  all  the  blood  of  beasts, 

On  Jewish  altars  slain, 
Could  give  the  guilty  conscience  peace, 
Or  wash  away  the  stain. 

2  But  Christ,  the  heavenly  Lamb, 

Takes  all  our  sins  away  ; 
A  sacrifice  of  nobler  name. 
And  richer  blood  than  they 

3  My  faith  would  lay  her  hand 

On  that  dear  head  of  Thine, 
While  as  a  penitent  I  stand, 
And  there  confess  my  sin. 

4  My  soul  looks  back  to  see 

The  burden  Thou  didst  bear, 
When  hanging  on  the  cursed  tree, 
And  hopes  her  guilt  was  there. 

5  Believing,  we  rejoice 

To  see  the  curse  remove ; 
We  bless  the  Lamb  with  cheerful  voice, 
And  sing  His  bleeding  love.

1  Arise,  my  soul,  arise, 

Shake  off  thy  guilty  fears, 
The  bleeding  Sacrifice 

In  my  behalf  appears  ; 
Before  the  throne  my  Surety  stands, 
My  name  is  written  on  His  hands. 

2  He  ever  lives  above, 

For  me  to  intercede ; 
His  all-redeeming  love, 

His  precious  blood  to  plead  ; 
His  blood  atoned  for  all  our  race. 
And  sx)rinkles  now  the  throne  of  grace. 

3  Five  bleeding  wounds  He  bears, 

Received  on  Calvary ; 
They  pour  effectual  prayers, 


They  strongly  speak  for  me ; 
Forgive  him,  oh,  forgive,  they  cry, 
Nor  let  that  ransom'd  sinner  die. 

The  Father  hears  Him  pray. 

His  dear  anointed  One  ; 
He  cannot  turn  away. 

Cannot  refuse  His  Son  ; 
His  Spirit  answers  to  the  blood, 
And  tells  me  I  am  born  of  God. 

My  God  is  reconciled, 

His  pard'ning  voice  I  hear  : 

He  owns  me  for  His  child, 
I  can  no  longer  fear ; 

With  confidence  I  now  draw  nigh, 

And,  "  Father,  Abba  Father!  "  cry.

Jesus,  mv  great  High  Priest, 

OfFer'd  His  blood  and  died; 
My  guilty  conscience  seeks 

No  sacrifice  beside. 
His  powerful  blood  did  once  atone. 
And  now  it  pleads  before  the  throne. 
To  this  dear  Surety's  hand 

Will  I  commit  my  cause; 
He  answers  and  fulfils 

His  Father's  broken  laws. 
Behold  my  soul  at  freedom  set; 
My  Surety  paid  the  dreadful  debt. 
My  Advocate  appears 

For  my  defence  on  high  ; 
The  Father  bows  His  ears, 

And  lays  His  thunder  by. 
Not  all  that  hell  or  sin  can  say, 
Shall  turn  His  heart,  His  love  away. 
Should  all  the  hosts  of  death, 

And  powers  of  hell  unknown. 
Put  tiieir  most  dreadful  forms 

Of  rage  and  mischief  on, 


I  shall  be  safe,  for  Christ  displays 
Superior  power  and  guardian  grace. 

14S 


1  Th'  atoning  work  is  done. 

Tlie  Victim's  blood  is  shed, 
And  Jesus  now  is  gone 

His  people's  cause  to  plead : 
He  stands  in  heaven  their  great  High  Priest. 
And  bears  their  names  upon  His  breast. 

2  No  temple  made  with  hands 

His  place  of  service  is ; 
In  heaven  itself  He  stands, 

A  heavenly  priesthood  His  : 
In  him  the  shadows  of  the  law 
Are  all  fulfiU'd.  and  now  withdraw. 

3  And  though  awhile  He  be 

Hid  from  the  eyes  of  men, 
His  people  look  to  see 

Their  great  High  Priest  again  : 
In  brightest  glory  He  will  come, 
And  take  His  waiting  people  home.

Plunged  in  a  gulf  of  dark  despair 

We  wretched  sinners  lay, 
Without  one  cheerful  beam  of  hope, 

Or  spark  of  glimm'ring  day. 
With  pitying  eyes  the  Prince  of  Grace 

Beheld  our  helpless  grief 
He  saw,  and  (oh.  amazing  love  I) 

He  ran  to  our  relief. 
Down  from  the  sinning  seats  above 

With  joyful  haste  He  fled. 
Enter d  the  grave  in  mortal  flesh. 

And  dwelt  among  the  dead. 


He  spoil'd  the  powers  of  darkness  thus, 

And  brake  our  iron  chains  ; 
Jesus  has  freed  our  captive  souls 

From  everlasting  pains. 
Oh,  for  this  love  let  rocks  and  hills 

Their  lasting  silence  break. 
And  all  harmonious  human  tongues

Honor  and  power  divine; 
And  blessings  more  than  we  can  give, 
Be,  Lord,  for  ever  Thine. 
■i  Let  all  that  dwell  above  the  sky, 
And  air,  and  earth,  and  seas, 
Conspire  to  lift  Thy  glories  high. 
And  speak  Thine  endless  praise !

1  Now  let  us  raise  our  cheerful  strains,  :  3 

And  join  the  blissful  choir  above;  ! 

There  our  exalted  Saviour  reigns. 

And  there  they  sing  His  wondrous  love.; 

2  Jesus,  who  once  upon  the  tree  4 

In  agonizing  pains  expired. 
To  save  us  rebels — yes,  'tis  He ! 

How  bright,  how  lovely,  how  admired! 

159 


Jesus,  who  died  that  we  might  live, 

Died  in  the  wretched  traitor's  place; 
Oh,  what  returns  can  mortals  give 

For  such  immeasurable  grace! 
Yet,"  though  for  bounty  so  divine 

We  ne'er  can  equal  honors  raise, 
Jesus,  may  all  our  hearts  be  Thine, 

And  all  "our  tongues  proclaim  Thy  praise.

Of  wisdom,  love,  and  power, 
That  ever  mortals  knew. 
That  angels  ever  bore: 
All  are  too  mean 

To  speak  His  worth  ; 
Too  mean  to  set 
Mv  Saviour  forth. 


But,  oh,  what  gentle  terms. 

What  condescending  ways, 
Doth  our  Redeemer  use 
To  teach  His  heavenly  grace! 
Mine  eyes  with  joy 
And  wonder  see 
What  forms  of  love 
He  bears  for  me.

Array'd  in  mortal  flesh, 

He  like  an  angel  stands, 
And  holds  the  promises 
And  y)ardons  in  His  hands; 
Commission'd  from 

His  Father's  throne, 
To  make  His  grace 
To  mortals  known. 


Great  Prophet  of  my  God  ! 

My  tongue  would  bless  Thy  name 
By  Thee  the  joyful  news 
Of  our  salvation  came; 
The  joyful  news 

Of  sin  forgiven, 
Of  hell  subdued. 
And  peace  with  heaven.

Glad  captives  of  Thy  matchless  grace,

And  sing  thy  great  Redeemer's  praise ; 
He  justly  claims  a  song  from  me, 

His  loving-kindness,  oh,  how  free! 

2  He  saw  me  ruin'd  in  the  fall, 

Yet  loved  me,  notwithstanding  all ; 
He  saved  me  from  my  lost  estate, 
His  loving-kindness, *oh.  how  great! 

3  Though  numerous  hosts  of  mighty  foes, 
Though  earth  and  hell  my  way  oppose. 
He  safely  leads  my  soul  along. 

His  loving-kindness,  oh,  how  strong! 

4  When  trouble,  like  a  gloomy  cloud, 
Has  gather'd  thick  and  thunder'd  loud, 

165 


He  near  my  soul  has  always  stood. 
His  loving  kindness,  oh,  how  good! 

Often  I  feel  my  sinful  heart 
Prone  from  my  Jesus  to  depart; 
But  though  I  have  Him  oft  forgot. 
His  loving-kindness  changes  not. 

Soon  shall  I  pass  the  gloomy  vale. 
Soon  all  my  mortal  powers  must  fail; 
Oh,  may  my  last  expiring  breath 
His  loving-kindness  sing  in  death. 

Then  let  me  mount  and  soar  away 
To  the  briglit  world  of  endless  day  ; 
And  sing,  with  rapture  and  surprise. 
His  loving-kindness  in  the  skies.

The  glitt'ring  hosts  bestud  the  sky, 
One  star  alone,  of  all  the  train, 
Can  fix  the  sinner's  wand'ring  eye. 

2  Hark  !  hark  !  to  God  the  chorus  breaks, 

From  ev'r\'-  host,  from  ev'ry  gem; 
But  one  alone  the  Saviour  speaks, 
It  is  the  Star  of  Bethlehem. 

3  Once  on  the  raging  seas  I  rode, 

The  storm  was  loud — the  night  was  dark, 
The  ocean  yawn'd— and  rudely  blow'd 
The  wind  that  toss'  d  my  found'ring  bark . 


4  Deep  horror  then  my  vitals  froze. 

Death -struck.  I  ceased  the  tide  to  stem  ; 
When  suddenly  a  star  arose — 
It  was  the  star  of  Bethlehem. 

5  It  was  my  guide,  my  light,  my  all ; 

It  bade  my  dark  foretjodings  cease  ; 
And  througii  the  storm  and  danger's  thrall, 
It  led  me  to  the  port  of  peace.

Forever,  and  forevermore, 
The  Star— the  Star  of  Bethlehem !

Jesus  !  and  shall  it  ever  be, 
A  mortal  man  ashamed  of  thee? 
Ashamed  of  Thee,  whom  angels  praise, 
Whose  glories  shine  through  endless  days' 
Ashamed  of  Jesus !  sooner  far 
Let  ev'ning  blush  to  own  a  star; 
He  sheds  the  beams  of  light  divine 
O'er  this  benighted  soul  of  mine. 
Ashamed  of  Jesus  !  just  as  soon 
Let  midnight  be  ashamed  of  noon  : 
'Tis  midnight  with  my  soul  till  He, 
Bright  Morning  Starl"  bid  darkness  flee.

Ashamed  of  Jesus  I  that  dear  Friend 
On  whom  my  hopes  of  heaven  depend 
No  ;  when  I  blush — be  this  my  shame, 
That  I  no  more  revere  His  name. 
Ashamed  of  Jesus  !  yes,  I  may 
When  I've  no  guilt  to  wash  away, 
No  tear  to  wipe,  no  good  to  crave. 
No  fears  to  quell,  no  soul  to  save. 
Till  then — nor  is  my  boasting  vain — 
Till  then  I  boast  a  Saviour  slain  ! 
And.  oh,  may  this  my  glory  be, 
That  Christ  is  not  ashamed  of  me  !

How  sweet  the  name  of  Jesus  sounds 

In  a  believer's  ear ! 
It  soothes  his  sorrows,  heals  his  wounds 

And  drives  away  his  fear. 
It  makes  the  wounded  spirit  whole, 

And  calms  the  troubled  breast; 
'Tis  manna  to  the  hungry  soul, 

And  to  the  weary,  rest. 
By  Him  my  prayers  acceptance  gain, 

Although  with  sin  defiled  ; 


Satan  accuses  me  in  vain. 

And  I  am  own'd  a  child. 
Weak  is  the  effort  of  my  heart, 

And  cold  my  warmest  thought; 
But  when  I  see  Thee  as  Thou  art, 

I'll  praise  Thee  as  I  ought. 
Till  then  I  would  Thy  love  proclaim, 

With  ev'ry  fleeting  breath  ; 
And  may  the  music  of  Thy  name 

Refresh  mv  soul  in  death.

0  love  divine,  how  sweet  thou  art ! 
When  shall  I  find  my  willing  heart 

All  taken  up  by  thee? 

1  long,  and  tliirst,  and  faint  to  prove 
The  greatness  of  redeeming  love, 

The  love  of  Christ  to  me. 


2  Stronger  His  love  than  death  or  hell ; 
Its  riches  are  unsearchable  ; 

The  first-born  sons  of  liglit 
Desire,  in  vain,  its  depth  to  see; 
They  cannot  reach  the  mystery. 

The  length,  and  breadth,  and  height. 


Oh,  that  I  could  forever  sit, 
With  Mary,  at  the  Master's  feet ! 

Be  this  my  happy  choice; 
My  only  care,  delight,  and  bliss, 
My  joy,  my  heaven  on  earth  be  this, 

To  hear  the  Bridegroom's  voice. 

Oh,  that  I  could,  with  favor'd  John, 
Recline  my  weary  head  iipon 

The  dear  Redeemer's  breast ! 
From  care,  and  sin,  and  sorrow  free, 
Give  me,  O  Lord,  to  find  in  Thee 

My  everlasting  rest.

Let  Zion's  watc^hmen  all  awake, 

An<l  take  th'  alarm  they  give; 
Now  let  them  fri)m  the  mouth  of  God 

Their  solemn  charge  receive. 
'Tis  not  a  case  of  small  import 

The  pastor's  care  demands  ; 
But  wiiat  might  till  an  angel's  heart, 

And  lill'd  a  Saviour's  hands. 
They  watch  for  souls,  for  which  the  Lord 

Did  heavenly  bliss  forego  ; 


p=P=ll 


For  souls  which  must  forever  live 

In  raptures  or  in  woe. 
All  to  the  great  tribunal  haste, 

Th'  account  to  render  there  ; 
And  shouldst Thou  strictly  mark  our  faults, 

Lord,  how  shall  we  appear? 
May  they  that  Jesus.  Whom  they  preach, 

Their  own  Redeemer  see; 
And  watch  Thou  daily  o'er  their  souls, 

That  they  may  watch  for  Thee.

1  I  love  Thy  Zion,  Lord! 

The  house  of  Thine  abode ; 
The  Church,  0  blest  Redeemer,  saved 
With  Thine  own  precious  blood. 


2  I  love  Thy  Church,  O  God ! 
Her  walls  before  Thee  stand, 
Dear  as  the  apple  of  Thine  eye, 
And  graven  on  Thy  hand. 


3  If  e'er  to  bless  Thy  sons 
My  voice  or  hands  deny, 
These  hands  let  useful  skill  forsake, 
This  voice  in  silence  die. 


4  If  e'er  my  heart  forget 
Her  welfare  or  her  woe, 
Let  ev'ry  joy  this  heart  forsake, 
And  ev'ry  grief  o'erflow. 


5  For  her  my  tears  shall  fall ; 
For  her  my  prayers  ascend ; 
To  her  my  cares  and  toils  be  given, 
Till  toils  and  cares  shall  end. 


6  Beyond  my  highest  joy 

I  prize  her  heavenly  ways. 
Her  sweet  communion,  solemn  vows. 
Her  hymns  of  love  and  praise.

In  Zion's  gloomy  hour; 

And  let  our  dying  graces  live 

By  Thy  restoring  power.

Awake  to  earnest  prayer, 
Their  solemn  vows  again  renew, 
And  walk  in  filial  fear. 


Thy  Spirit  then  will  speak 

Through  lips  of  humble  clay, 
Till  hearts  of  adamant  shall  break, 

Till  rebels  shall  obey. 
Now  lend  Thy  gracious  ear, 

Now  listen  to  our  cry  : 
Oh.  come,  and  bring  salvation  neai- 1 

Our  souls  on  Thee  rely.

Q16 


1  Lord,  send  Thy  word,  and  let  it  fly, 
Arm'd  with  Thy  Spirit's  power; 
Ten  thousand  sliall  confess  its  sway, 
And  bless  tlie  saving  hour. 


2  Beneath  the  influence  of  Thy  grace, 
The  barren  wastes  sliall  rise, 
With  verdure  and  with  fruits  array' d, 
A  blooming  paradise. 


3  True  holiness  shall  strike  its  root 
In  each  regen'rate  heart; 
Shall  in  a  growth  divine  arise, 
And  heavenly  fruits  impart. 


4  Peace,  with  her  olives  crown'd,  shall  stretch 
Her  wings  from  shore  to  shore; 
No  trump  shall  rouse  the  rage  of  war. 
Nor  murd'rous  cannon  roar. 


5  Lord,  for  those  days  we  wait — those  days 
Are  in  Thy  word  foretold  ; 
Fly  swifter,  sun  and  stars,  and  bring 
This  promised  age  of  gold!

When,  beneath  Messiah's  sway, 
Ev'ry  nation,  ev'ry  clime, 
Shall  the  gospelcall  obey. 


2  Mightiest  kings  His  power  shall  own. 
Heathen  tribes  His  name  adore ; 
Satan  and  his  host,  o'erthrown, 
Bound  in  chains,  shall  hurt  no  more. 


3  Then  shall  war  and  tumult  cease. 
Then  be  banish'd  grief  and  pain 
Righteousness  and  joy  and  peace 
IJndisturb'd  shall  ever  reign.

Ever  praise  His  glorious  Name ;

1  From  Grocn land's  icy  mountains, 

From  India's  coral  strand, 
Where  Afric's  sunny  fountains 

Roll  down  their  golden  sand — 
From  many  an  ancient  river, 

t>oni  many  a  palmy  j)lain, 
They  call  us  to  deliver 

Their  land  from  error's  chain. 


2  What  thoupli  the  spicy  breezes 

Blow  soft  o'er  Ceylon's  isle; 
Thouj^h  cv'ry  j)rospect  pleases, 

And  only  man  is  vile ; 
In  vain  with  lavish  kindness 

The  ^'ifls  of  (Jod  arc  strown  ; 
The  heathen,  in  his  hlindness, 

Bows  down  to  wood  and  stone! 


3  Shall  we,  whose  souls  are  lighted 

With  wisdom  from  on  high — 
Shall  we,  to  men  benighted, 

The  lamp  of  life  deny! 
Salvation,  oh,  salvation  ! 

The  joyful  sound  ])roclaim, 
Till  earth's  remotest  nation 

J  las  learn'd  Messiah's  name. 


Waft,  waft,  ye  winds.  His  story, 

And  you,  ye  waters,  roll, 
Till,  like  a  sea  of  glory, 

It  spreads  from  pole  to  pole; 
Till  o'er  our  ransom'd  nature 

The  Lamb  for  sinners  slain, 
Redeemer,  King,  Creator, 

In  bliss  returns  to  reign  !

To  aid  the  triumj)hs  of  our  King. 

4  Our  hearts  exult  in  songs  of  praise 
That  we  have  seen  these  latter  days. 
When  our  Redeemer  shall  be  known 
Where  Satan  long  has  held  his  throne.

Hark  !  hark  !  the  notes  of  joy 
Roll  o'er  the  heavenly  plains, 

And  seraphs  find  employ 
For  their  sublimest  strains  : 

Some  new  delight  in  heaven  is  known  ; 

Loud  sound  the  harps  around  the  throne, 

Hark  !  hark !  the  sounds  draw  nigh  ; 

The  joyful  liosts  descend; 
The  Lord  forsakes  the  sky  ; 

To  earth  His  footsteps  bend  ; 
He  comes  to  bless  our  fallen  race ; 
He  cornea  with  messages  of  grace.

Let  ev'ry  mortal  know 
What  love  in  God  is  found, 

What  pity  He  can  show  : 
Ye  winds  that  blow,  ye  waves  tliat  roll, 
Convey  the  news  from  pole  to  pole. 

4  Strike,  strike  the  harps  again, 

To  great  Immanuel's  name; 
Arise,  ye  sons  of  men, 

And  all  His  grace  proclaim  : 
Angels  and  men,  wake  ev'ry  string; 
'Tis  God  the  Saviour's  praise  we  sing.

From  Calvary  a  cry  was  heard,  '  3 

A  bitter  and  heart-rendint?  cry  ; 
My  Saviour!  ev'ry  mournful  word 

Bespeaks  Thy  souTs  deep  agony. 
Thescourge,  the  thorns,  the  deep  disgrace —  4 

TheseThoucouldstbear,  nor  once  repine; 
But  when  Jehovah  veil'd  His  face, 

Unutterable  pangs  were  Thine.  i 


Let  tlie  dumb  world  its  silence  break  ; 

Let  pealing  antliei.is  rend  the  sky  ; 
Awake,  my  sluggish  soul,  awake! 

He  died,  that  we  might  never  die. 
Lord  !  on  Thy  cross  1  tix  mine  eye: 

If  e'er  I  lose  its  strong  control, 
Oh,  let  that  dying,  piercing  cry 

Melt  and  reclaim  my  Avand'ring  soul.

1  There  is  a  dear  and  hallow'd  spot 

Oft  present  to  my  eye  ; 
By  saints  it  ne'er  can  be  forgot  ; 
That  place  is  Calvary. 

2  Oh,  what  a  scene  was  there  display'd 

Of  love  and  agony, 
When  our  Redeemer  bow'd  His  head, 
And  died  on  Calvary  ! 

3  When  fainting  under  guilt's  dread  load, 

Unto  the  cross  I'll  fly  ; 
And  trust  the  merit  of  that  blood 
Which  flow'd  at  Calvary. 

4  Whene'er  I  feel  temptation's  power, 

On  Jesus  I'll  rely  ; 
And,  in  the  sharp,  conflicting  hour, 
Repair  to  Calvary. 

5  When  seated  at  the  feast  of  love. 

Then  will  I  fix  mine  eye 
On  Him  who  intercedes  above, 
Who  bled  on  Calvary. 

6  When  the  dark  scene  of  death,  the  last 

Momentous  hour  draws  nigh. 
Then,  with  my  dying  eyes,  I'll  cast 
A  look  on  Calvary.

That  saw  our  Saviour  rise, 
AVith  vict'n-  bright  adorn'd, 

And  triumph  in  His  eyes ! 
Ye  saints,  extol  your  risen  Lord. 
And  sing  His  praise  with  sweet  accord. 

2  Behold  the  Lamb  of  God, 

The  atoning  Sacrifice, 
Sustains  the  dreadful  load 

Of  man's  iniquities; 
Death,  sin,  and  hell,  our  cruel  foes, 
All  vanquish'd  fell  when  Jesus  rose. 


3  The  Conqueror  ascends 

In  triumph  to  the  skies: 
Celestial  hosts  attend, 

To  crown  His  victories  ; 
Hark  I  they  proclaim  His  glorious  name ; 
And  heaven  resounds  Immanuel's  fame. 

4  Now  to  the  throne  above 

Let  ev'ry  saint  draw  near; 
There  dwells  incarnate  love ; 

Grace  sits  triumpliant  there; 
See  mercy  smile,  e'en  on  that  throne 
^A'here  once  did  wrath  and  justice  frown.

Yes,  the  Redeemer  rose, 

The  Saviour  left  tlie  dead, 
And  o'er  our  hellish  foes 

High  raised  His  conq'ring  head. 

In  wild  dismay, 

The  guards  around 

Fall  to  the  ground 

And  sink  away. 


Lo  !  the  angelic  bands 

In  full  assembly  meet, 

To  wait  His  high  commands, 

And  worship  at  His  feet. 

Joyful  they  come. 

And  wing  their  way 

From  realms  of  day 

To  Jesus'  tomb. 


3  Then  back  to  heaven  they  fly. 

The  joyful  news  to  bear. 

Hark  !  as  they  soar  on  high, 

What  music  fills  the  air ! 

Their  anthems  say : 

"  Jesus,  who  bled. 

Hath  left  the  dead  ; 

He  rose  to-day." 


Ye  mortals,  catcli  the  sound, 

Redeem'd  by  Him  from  hell ; 
And  send  the  echo  round 

The  globe  on  which  you  dwell. 
With  Christ  we  rise. 
With  Christ  we  reign. 
And  empires  gain 
Beyond  the  skies.

3  Lo  !  the  heaven  its  Lord  receives, 
Yet  He  loves  the  earth  He  leaves ; 
Though  returning  to  His  throne, 
Still  He  calls  mankind  His  own. 

4  See !  He  lifts  His  hands  above ; 
See !  He  shows  the  prints  of  love  ; 
Hark  !  His  gracious  lips  bestow 
Blessings  on  His  Church  below. 

5  Still  for  us  He  intercedes, 

His  prevailing  death  He  pleads. 
Near  Himself  prepares  our  place, 
He  the  first-fruits  of  our  race. 

6  Lord,  though  parted  from  our  sight 
Far  above  the  starry  height, 
Grant  our  hearts  may  thither  rise. 
Seeking  Thee  above  the  skies. 


1  Jesus,  our  triumphant  Head, 
Ixisen  victorious  from  the  dead. 
To  the  realms  of  glory's  gone, 
To  ascend  His  rightful  throne. 

2  Cherubs  on  the  Conq'ror  gaze. 
Seraphs  glow  with  brighter  blaze ; 
Each  bright  order  of  the  sky 
Hails  Him  as  He  passes  by. 

3  Sinners !  join  the  heavenly  powers, 
For  redemption  all  is  ours. 
Humble  penitents  shall  prove 
Blood-bought  pardon,  dying  love. 

4  Hail,  thou  dear,  thou  worthy  Lord 
Holy  Lamb  !  incarnate  Word  ! 
Hail,  Thou  suff'ring  Son  of  God! 
Take  the  trophies  of  Thy  blood.

To  Tliee  for  help  we  cry, 
To  guide  us  through  the  weary  way 

Of  dark  mortality. 
We  ask  not,  Lord,  the  cloven  flame, 

Or  tongues  of  various  tone ; 
But  long  Thy  praises  to  proclaim, 

With  fervor  in  our  own. 


3  We  mourn  not  that  prophetic  skill 

Is  found  on  eartli  no  more: 
Enough  for  us  to  trace  Thy  will 
In  Scripture's  sacred  lore. 

4  When  tongues  shall  cease,  and  power  decay, 

And  knowledge  empty  prove, 
Do  Thou  Thy  trembling  servants  stay 
With  faith,  and  hope,  and  love.

1  I  love  the  volume  of  Thy  Word  : 
What  light  and  joy  those  leaves  afford 

To  souls  benighted  and  distrest! 
Thy  precepts  guide  my  doubtful  way; 
Thy  fear  forbids  my  feet  to  stray  ; 

Thy  promise  leads  my  heart  to  rest. 

2  Thy  threat'nings  wake  my  slumb'ring  eyes, 
And  warn  me  where  my  danger  lies ; 

But  'tis  Thy  blessed  gospel.  Lord, 
That  makes  my  guilty  conscience  clean. 
Converts  my  soul,  subdues  my  sin. 

And  gives  a  free,  but  large  reward. 


3  Who  knows  the  errors  of  His  thoughts? 
My  God.  forgive  my  secret  faults. 

And  from  presumptuous  sins  restrain. 
Accept  my  poor  attempts  of  praise. 
That  I  have  read  Thy  Book  of  grace 

And  book  of  nature  not  in  vain.

Bright  as  a  lamp  its  doctrines  shine, 
To  guide  our  souls  to  heaven. 

2  It  sweetly  cheers  our  drooping  hearts 

In  this  dark  vale  of  tears ; 


Life,  light,  and  joy  it  still  imparts, 

And  quells  our  rising  fears.

'Tis  pleasure  mf)re  than  earth  can  give, 

Thy  goodness  through  these  veils  to  see: 
Thy  tai)le  food  celestial  yields; 

And  happy  they  who  sit  with  Thee. 
But  oh,  what  vast,  transporting  joys

He  that  drinks  shall  thirst  no  more. 


He  that  drinks  shall  live  forever 
'Tis  a  soul-renewing  flood  : 

God  is  faithful ;  God  will  never 
Break  His  covenant  in  blood, 

Sign'd  when  our  Redeemer  died, 

Seal'd  when  He  was  glorified

1  Why  will  ye  lavish  out  your  years 
Amidst  a  thousand  trifling  cares, 
While,  in  the  various  range  of  thought, 
Tlie  one  thing  needful  is  forgot  ? 

2  Why  will  ye  chase  the  fleeting  wind 
And  famish  an  immortal  mind, 
While  angels  with  regret  look  down 
To  see  you  spurn  a  heavenly  crown  ? 

3  Th"  eternal  God  calls  from  above, 
And  Jesus  pleads  His  dying  love; 


Awaken' d  conscience  gives  you  pain : 
And  shall  they  join  their  pleas  in  vain' 
Not  so  your  dying  eyes  shall  view 
Tliose  objects  which  ye  now  pursue  ; 
Not  so  shall  heaven  and  hell  appear 
When  the  decisive  hour  is  near. 
Almighty  God  I  Thine  aid  impart, 
To  fix  conviction  on  the  heart ;

And  make  the  haughtiest  scorner  wise.

And  seek  an  injured  Father's  face; 
Those  warm  desires  that  in  thee  burn 

Were  kindled  by  rechxiniing  grace. 
Return,  O  wanderer,  return, 

And  seek  a  Father's  melting  heart; 
His  pitying  eyes  thy  grief  discern. 

His  hand  shall  heal  thy  inward  smart. 


3  Return,  O  wanderer,  return, 

Thy  Saviour  bids  thy  spirit  live; 
Go  to  His  bleeding  feet,  and  learn 
How  freely  .lesus  can  forgive.

Yet  sensele*is  mortals  vainly  strive 
To  lavish  out  their  years.

We  pass  our  lives  away.

And  ever  hast'ning  to  the  tomb,

"What  chains  of  vengeance  should  we  feel, 
That  break  such  cords  of  love!

And  lift  our  thoughts  on  high.

With  hero  and  there  a  traveller.

And  walks  the  ways  of  God  no  more.

And  makes  his  own  destruction  sure.

A  mansion  in  the  skies.

Nor  let  me,  wrapt  in  endless  gloom, 
An  outcast  from  Thy  presence  roam.

3  Oh,  let  Thy  Spirit  to  my  heart 

Once  more  His  qviick'ning  aid  impart, 

My  mind  from  ev'ry  fear  release. 

And  soothe  my  troublc(i  thoughts  to  peace. 

4  So  shall  the  souls  whom  error's  sway 
Has  urged  from  Thee,  blest  Lord,  to  stray, 
From  me  Thy  heavenly  precepts  learn, 
And  humbled  to  their  God  return.

1  Lord,  we  confess  our  numerous  faults, 
How  great  our  guilt  has  been  : 
Foolish  and  vain  were  all  our  thought? 
And  all  our  lives  were  sin. 


1  Jesus,  Thou  art  my  Righteousness, 
For  all  my  sins  were  Thine  : 
Thy  death  hath  bought  of  God  my  peace, 
Thv  life  hath  made  Him  mine. 


2  But,  0  my  soul,  forever  praise, 
Forever  love  His  Name, 
Who  turns  thy  feet  from  dangerous  ways 
Of  folly,  sin,  and  shame. 


2  Now  justified  in  Thee  I  am  ; 
My  sins  are  all  forgiven  : 
I  taste  salvation  in  Thy  Name, 
And  antedate  my  heaven. 


'Tis  not  by  works  of  righteousness 
Which  our  own  haiids  have  done ; 

But  we  are  saved  by  sovereign  grace 
Abounding  through  His  Son. 


Believing  on  my  Lord,  I  find 
A  sure  and  present  aid  . 

On  Thee  alone  my  constant  mind 
Be  every  moment  stay'd. 


'Tis  through  the  purchase  of  His  death 

Who  hung  upon  the  tree, 
The  Spirit  is  sent  down  to  breathe 

On  such  drv  bones  as  we. 


Whatever  in  me  seems  wise,  or  good, 
Or  strong,  I  here  disclaim  : 

I  wash  my  garments  in  the  blood 
Of  the  atoning  Lamb. 


Raised  from  the  dead,  we  live  anew  ; 

And  justified  by  grace 
We  shall  appear  in  glory  too, 

And  see  our  Father's  face. 
18

On  Thee  will  1  depend.

My  beauty  are,  my  glorious  dress  :

Fully,  through  Thee,  absolved  I  am 
From  sin  and  fear,  from  guilt  and  shame.

When  ruin'd  nature  sinks  in  years;

1  Prayer  was  appointed  to  convey 

The  blessings  God  designs  to  give; 
Long  as  they  live,  should  Christians  pray, 
For  ouh'  while  they  pray,  they  live. 

2  The  Christian's  heart  his  prayer  indites, 

He  speaks  as  prompted  from  within  ; 
The  Spirit  his  petition  writes, 

And  Christ  receives,  and  gives  it  in. 


3  And  shall  we  in  dead  silence  lie  ! 

When    Christ   stands    waiting    for    our 
prayer" 


My  soul,  thou  hast  a  Friend  on  "high 
Arise,  and  trv  thine  interest  there. 


If  pains  afflict,  or  wrongs  oppress — 
If  cares  distract,  or  fears  dismay- 

If  guilt  deject — if  sin  distress, 
Tlie  remedy's  before  thee — pray. 

'Tis  prayer  supports  the  soul  that's  weak 
Though   thought  be  broken — languagi 
lame. 

Pray,  if  thou  canst,  or  canst  not  speak, 
But  pray  with  faith  in  Jesus'  name.

1  Prayer  is  the  soul's  sincere  desire, 

T'tter'd  or  uncxpress'd, 
The  inotioii  of  a  hidden  lire 
That  trembles  in  the  breast. 

2  Prayer  is  the  burden  of  a  sigh, 

The  falling  of  a  tear  ; 
Tlie  upward  glancing  of  an  eye 
When  none  but  God  is  near. 

3  Prayer  is  the  simplest  form  of  speech 

That  infant  lips  can  try  ; 


Prayer  the  sublimest  strains  that  reach 

The  Majciity  on  high. 
Prayer  is  the  Christian's  vital  breath, 

The  Christian's  native  air, 
Ills  watchword  at  the  gate  of  death — 

He  enters  heaven  with  i)raycr. 
Prayer  is  the  contrite  sinner's  voice 

Returning  from  his  ways, 
While  angels  in  their  songs  rejoice, 

And  say,  "  Behold,  he  prays."

1  From  ev'ry  stormj^  wind  that  blows, 
From  ev'ry  swelling  tide  of  woes, 
There  is  a  calm,  a  sure  retreat, 

•Tis  found  beneath  the  mercy-seat. 

2  There  is  a  place  where  .Jesus  sheds 
Tlie  oil  of  gladness  on  our  heads, 

A  place  than  all  besides  more  sweet ; 
It  is  the  blood -bought  mercy-seat. 

3  There  is  a  scene  where  spirits  blend, 
Where  friend  holds  fellowship  with  friend, 
Though  sunder' d  far,  by  faith  they  meet 
Around  one  common  mercy-seat. 

4  Ah  I  whither  could  we  flee  for  aid, 
When  tempted,  desolate,  dismay'd ; 
Or  how  the  host  of  hell  defeat, 
Had  suif' ring  saints  no  mercy-seat? 

5  There,  there,  on  eagle  wing  we  soar, 
And  sin  and  sense  seem  all  no  more. 
And  heaven  comes  down  our  souls  to  greet, 
And  glory  crowns  the  mercy -seat! 


6  Oh,  let  my  hand  forget  lier  skill, 
My  tongue  be  silent,  cold  and  still, 
This  bounding  heart  forget  to  beat, 
If  I  forget  the  mercy-seat.

For  none  can  perish  there.

To  bear  the  cross  and  shame.

1  The  Lord,  who  truly  knows 

The  heart  of  ev'ry  saint. 

Invites  us  by  His  holy  word 

To  pray  and  never  faint. 

2  He  bows  His  gracious  ear; 

We  never  plead  in  vain  ; 
Yet  we  must  wait  till  He  appear, 
And  pray,  and  pray  again. 

3  Though  unbelief  suggest, 

Why  should  we  longer  wait? 
He  bids  us  never  give  Him  rest, 
But  be  importunate.

4  'Twas  thus  a  widow  poor, 

Without  support  or  friend, 

Beset  the  unjust  judge's  door, 

And  gain'd  at  last  her  end. 

5  And  shall  not  Jesus  hear 

His  children  when  they  cry? 
Yes,  though  He  may  awhile  forbear, 
He'll  not  their  suit  deny. 

6  Then  let  us  earnest  be, 

And  never  faint  in  prayer; 
He  loves  our  importunity. 
And  makes  our  cause  His  care.

This  may  distress  the  worldly  mind 
But  should  not  cost  a  saint  a  tear, 
Who  hopes  a  better  rest  to  find. 

2  "  We've  no  abiding  city  here," 

Sad  truth,  were  this  to  be  our  home 
But  let  this  thought  our  spirits  cheer, 
"  We  seek  a  city  yet  to  come," 

3  "  We've  no  abiding  city  here," 

Then  let  us  live  as  pilgrims  do; 

Let  not  the  world  our  rest  appear ; 

But  let  us  haste  from  all  below.

"  We've  no  abiding  city  here," 

We  seek  a  city  out  of  sight : 
Zion  its  name, — the  Lord  is  there, 

It  shines  with  everlasting  light. 
0  sweet  abode  of  peace  and  love. 

Where  pilgrims  freed  from  toil  are  blest; 
Had  I  the  pinions  of  the  dove, 

I'd  flee  to  thee,  and  be  at  rest. 
But  hush,  my  soul !  nor  dare  rei)ine; 

The  time  my  God  appoints  is  best . 
While  here,  to  do  His  will  be  mine, 

And  His  to  fix  my  time  of  rest.

1  O  Zion,  when  I  think  of  thee, 

I  wish  for  pinions  like  a  dove, 
And  mourn  to  think  that  I  should  be 
So  distant  from  the  place  I  love. 

2  An  exile  here,  and  far  from  home, 

For  Zion's  sacred  walls  I  sigh  ; 

Thither  the  ransom'd  nations  come, 

And  see  the  Saviour  eye  to  eye. 

3  While  here  I  walk  on  hostile  ground, 

The  few  that  I  can  call  mv  friends 


Are  like  myself  with  fetters  bount 

And  weariness  otir  steps  attends. 
But  yet  ye  shall  behold  the  day 

When  Zion's  children  sliall  return, 
Our  sorrows  then  shall  flee  away, 

And  we  shall  never,  never  mourn. 
The  hope  that  such  a  day  will  come 

Makes  e'en  the  exile's  i>ortion  sweet, 
Though  now  wc  wander  far  from  home. 

In  Zion  soon  we  all  shall  meet.

Shines  one  eternal  dav  ; 


There  God  the  Son  for  ever  reigns,

And  be  for  ever  blest? 
When  shall  I  see  my  Father's  face. 

And  in  His  bosom  rest? 
Fill'd  with  delight,  my  raptured  soul 

Would  here  no  longer  stay: 
Though  Jordan's  waves  around  me  roll, 

Fearless  Fd  launch  awav.

1  0  Lord,  how  full  of  sweet  content  I     3 
Our  years  of  pilgrimage  are  spent !  I 
Where'er  we  dwell,  we  dwell  with  Thee, 

In  heaven,  in  earth,  or  on  the  sea. 

2  To  us  remains  nor  place  nor  time;  i     4 
Our  country  is  in  every  clime  !                    ! 
We  can  be  calm  and  free  from  care 

On  any  shore,  since  God  is  there. 

293 


r 


While  place  we  seek,  or  place  we  shun, 
The  soul  finds  happiness  in  none , 
But  with  our  God  to  guide  our  way, 
'Tis  equal  joy  to  go  or  sta\' 
Could  we  be  cast  where  Thou  art  not, 
That  were  indeed  a  dreadful  lot ; 
But  regions  none  remote  we  call, 
Secure  of  finding  God  in  all.

1  So  let  our  lips  and  lives  express 
The  holy  gospel  we  profess  ; 

So  let  our  works  and  virtues  shine, 
To  prove  the  doctrine  all  divine! 

2  Thus  shall  we  best  proclaim  abroad 
The  honors  of  our  Saviour  God, 
When  the  salvation  reigns  within, 
And  grace  subdues  the  power  of  sin. 


Our  flesh  and  sense  must  be  denied, 
Passion  and  envy,  lust  and  pride; 
While  justice,  temperance,  truth  and  love 
Our  inward  piety  approve. 
Religion  bears  our  spirits  up. 
Whilst  we  expect  that  blessed  hope, 
The  bright  appearance  of  the  Lord, 
And  faith  stands  leaning  on  His  word.

And  in  our  fetters  lie. 
When  summon'd  by  a  voice  divine 
T'  assert  our  liberty? 

2  Did  the  great  Saviour  1)leed, 

Our  freedom  to  obtain? 
And  shall  we  trample  on  His  blood, 
And  glory  in  our  chain  ? 

3  Shall  wo  go  on  to  sin, 

Because  Thy  grace  abounds  ; 
Or  crucify  the  Lord  again. 
And  open  all  His  wounds? 


4  Forbid  it,  mighty  God ! 

Nor  let  it  e'er  be  said. 
That  those  for  whom  Thy  Son  has  died 
In  vice  are  lost  and  dead. 

5  The  man  that  durst  despise 

The  law  that  Moses  brought, 
Behold  !  how  terribly  he  dies 
For  his  presumptuous  fault. 

6  But  sorer  vengeance  falls 

On  that  rebellious  race. 
Who  hate  to  hear  when  Jesus  calls, 
And  dare  resist  His  grace.

That  it  hath  sought  its  God  in  vain.

In  whispers  to  suggest  a  fear, 

While  still  He  owns  His  ancient  name, 

The  same  His  power,  His  love  the  same ! 

To  Thee  our  souls  in  faith  arise, 

To  Thee  we  lift  expecting  eyes. 

And  boldly  through  the  desert  tread  ; 

For  God  will  guard,  where  God  shall  lead.

I  should  live  to  Thee  alone ; 
Year  by  year,  Thy  hand  hath  brought  mc 

On  t!i rough  dangers  oft  unknown. 
When  I  wander'd,  Thou  hast  found  me 

When  I  doubted,  sent  me  light; 
Still  Thine  arm  has  been  around  me. 

All  my  paths  were  in  Thy  sight. 

2  In  the  world  will  foes  assail  me. 

Craftier,  stronger  far  than  I ; 
And  the  strife  may  never  fail  me, 
Well  I  know,  before  I  die.  303 


Therefore,  Lord,  I  come,  believing 

Thou  canst  give  the  power  I  need ; 
Through  the  prayer  of  faith  receiving 

Strength — the  Spirit's  strength,  indeed. 
I  would  trust  in  Thy  protecting. 

Wholly  rest  upon  Thine  arm  ; 
Follow  wholly  Thy  directing, 

Thou,  mine  only  guard  from  harm  ! 
Keep  me  from  my  own  undoing, 

Help  me  turn  to  Thee  when  tried; 
Still  my  footsteps.  Father,  viewing, 

Keep  me  ever  at  Thy  side.

The  Christian  while  he  sings 
It  is  the  Lord,  Wlio  rises 

With  healing  in  His  wings; 
When  comforts  are  declining,

To  cheer  it  after  rain.

We  sweetly  then  pursue 
The  theme  of  God's  salvation, 

And  find  it  ever  new  :

And  He  who  feeds  the  ravens 

Vv'ill  give  His  children  bread. 
Though  neither  vine  nor  tig-tree 

Its  wonted  fruit  shall  bear, 
Though  all  the  fields  should  wither, 

Nor  flocks  nor  herds  be  there; 
Yet  God  the  same  abiding. 

His  praise  shall  tune  my  voice ; 
For  while  in  Ilim  confiding, 

I  cannot  but  rejoice.

They,  with  united  breath,      '  307 


Ascribe  their  conquest  to  the  Lamb, 

Their  triumph  to  His  death. 
They  mark'd  the  footsteps  that  He  trod; 

His  zeal  inspired  their  breast ; 
And,  following  their  incarnate  God, 

Possess  the  promised  rest. 
Our  glorious  Leader  claims  our  praise, 

For  His  own  pattern  given  ; 
While  the  long  cloud  of  witnesses 

Shows  the  same  path  to  heaven.

1  Happy  the  man  whose  wishes  cliiub 

To  nianbions  in  the  skies! 
He  looks  on  all  the  joys  of  time 
With  undesiring  eyes. 

2  In  vain  soft  i)lcasure  spreads  her  charms, 

And  throws  her  silken  chain; 
And  wealth  and  fame  invite  his  arms, 
And  tempt  his  ear  in  vain. 

3  He  knows  that  all  these  glitt'ring  things 

Must  yield  to  sure  decay ; 


F 


And  sees  on  time's  extended  wings 

How  swift  they  flee  away. 
To  things  unseen  by  mortal  eyes, 

A  beam  of  sacred  light 
Directs  his  view  ;  his  ]>rospects  rise 

All  permanent  and  bright. 
His  hopes  are  fix'd  on  joys  to  come: 

Tluise  blissful  scenes  on  high 
Shall  nourish  in  immortal  bloom 

When  time  and  nature  die.

1  Conrajro.  my  soul  I  while  dod  is  near. 
What  enemy  hast  thou  to  fear? 
How  canst  thou  want  a  sure  defence 
Whose  refuge  is  Omnipotence? 

2  Tliough  thickest  dangers  crowd  my  way 
My  God  can  chase  my  fears  away  ; 

My  steadfast  lieart  on  him  relies, 
And  all  those  dangers  still  defies. 


3  Though  billows  after  billows  roll 
To  overwhelm  my  sinking  soul, 
Firm  as  a  r.ck  my  faith  shall  stand, 
Upheld  by  God's  abnighty  liand. 

4  In  life,  His  presence  is  my  aid ; 

In  death,  'twill  guide  me  thro'  the  shade. 
Chase  all  my  rising  fears  away, 
And  turn  my  darkness  into  day.

1  I  look  to  Jesus,  and  the  face 

Of  God  is  turn'd  on  me  in  love, 
I  feel  a  father's  fond  embrace, 
And  all  my  doubts  and  fears  remove. 


2  I  look  to  Jesus,  and  beliold! 

My  heart  is  iighten'd  of  its  cares. 
My  love  for  earthly  things  grows  cold, 
And  pleasure  vainly  spreads  her  snares. 


3  I  look  to  Jesus,  and  the  sight 
Of  all  that  He  endured  for  me. 
Makes  e'en  my  greatest  sufferings  light, 
Compared  with  His  deep  agony. 


4  I  look  to  Jesus  when  my  zea^ 

And  faith  and  love  grow  dead  and  cold; 
Then  doth  He  Calvary  reveal. 

And  make  me  in  His  service  bold. 


5  Thus  let  me.  Lord,  while  life  doth  last, 
In  faith  look  ever  up  to  Thee, 
And  when  life's  sinful  days  are  past 
I  shall  Thv  face  in  glorv  see.

1  O  eyes  that  are  weary,  and  liearts  that  are  sore! 
Look  oir  unto  Jesus,  now  sorrow  no  more! 
The  light  of  His  countenance  shineth  so  bright, 
That  here,  as  in  heaven,  there  need  be  no  night. 

2  While  looking  to  Jesus,  my  heart  cannot  fear; 
I  tremble  no  more  when  I  see  Jesus  near; 

I  know  tliat  His  i)rcsenre  my  safeguard  will  be. 
For,  "  Why  are  ye  troubled?  "   He  saith  unto  me. 

3  Still  looking  to  Jesus,  oh,  may  I  be  found, 
When  Jordan's  dark  waters  encompass  me  round 
They  bear  me  away  in  His  presence  to  l)c: 

I  see  Him  still  nearer  whom  always  I  see. 

4  Then,  then  almll  I  know  the  full  beauty  and  grace 
Of  Jesus,  my  I^ord,  when  I  stand  face  to  face; 

I'll  know  how  His  love  went  before  me  each  day, 
And  wonder  that  ever  mine  eyes  turn'd  away.

No  one  into  His  kingdom  comes.

In  vain  our  enemies  opi)ose, 
For  God  is  stronger  than  His  foes. 

3  The  Lord  our  portion  is, 

What  can  we  wish  for  more? 
Aa  long  as  we  are  His, 


We  never  can  he  poor : 
In  vain  do  earth  and  hell  oppose, 
For  God  is  stronger  than  His  foes. 

The  Lord  our  Shepherd  is. 

He  knows  our  ev'ry  need  ; 
And  since  we  now  are  His, 

His  care  our  souls  will  feed  : 
In  vain  do  sin  and  death  oppo.se,

Not  with  our  mortal  eyes 
Have  we  beheld  the  Lord  ; 

Yet  wo  rejoice  to  hear  His  name, 
And  love  Him  in  His  word. 

On  earth  we  want  the  sight 
Of  our  Redeemer's  face ; 


Yet.  Lord,  our  inmost  thoughts  delight 

To  dwell  upon  Thy  grace. 
3  And  when  we  taste  Thy  love, 

Our  joys  divinely  grow 
Unspeakable,  like  those  above, 

And  heaven  beirins  below.

1  Oh  for  a  closer  walk  with  God, 

A  calm  and  heavenly  frame; 

A  light  to  shine  upon  the  road 

That  leads  me  to  the  Lamb  ! 

2  Where  is  the  blessedness  I  knew 

When  first  I  saw  the  Lord? 
Where  is  the  soul-refreshing  view 
Of  Jesus  and  His  word? 

3  What  peaceful  hours  I  once  enjoy'd  ! 

How  sweet  their  memory  still  I 
But  they  have  left  an  aching  void 
The  world  can  never  fill. 


4  Return,  0  Holy  Dove!  return. 

Sweet  messenger  of  rest ! 
I  hate  the  sins  that  made  Thee  mourn, 
And  drove  Thee  from  my  breast. 

5  The  dearest  idol  I  have  known, 

Whate'er  that  idol  be. 
Help  me  to  tear  it  from  Thy  throne. 
And  worship  only  Thee. 

6  So  shall  my  walk  be  close  with  God, 

Calm  and  serene  my  frame; 
So  purer  light  shall  mark  the  road 
That  leads  me  to  the  Lamb.

And  lead  to  endless  da  v.

When  Jesus  no  longer  I  see  ;       [flowers 
Sweet   prospects,  sweet   birds,  and   sweet 

Have  lost  all  tlieir  sweetness  with  me;

The  tields  strive  in  vain  to  look  gay  ; 
But  when  I  am  happy  in  Him.  ! 

Decembers  as  pleasant  as  May. 
His  name  yields  the  richest  perfume,  4 

And  sweeter  than  music  His  voice; 
His  presence  disperses  my  gloom. 

And  makes  all  within  me  rejoice  ; 
I  should,  were  He  always  thus  nigh, 

Have  nothing  to  wish  or  to  fear ;

My  summer  would  last  all  the  year.     331 


Content  with  beholding  His  face. 

My  all  to  His  jdeasure  resigned;

While  bless'd  with  a  sense  of  his  love,

And  prisons  would  palaces  prove. 

If  Jesus  would  dwell  with  me  there. 
Dear  Lord,  if  indeed  I  am  thine. 

If  Thou  art  my  sun  and  my  song. 
Say.  why  do  I  languish  and  pine. 

And  why  are  my  winters  so  long? 
Oh,  drive  tliese  dark  clouds  from  my  sky,

1  Do  not  I  love  Thee.  0  my  Lord? 

Behold  my  lieart,  and  see; 
And  turn  each  hateful  idol  out 
That  dares  to  rival  Thee. 

2  Do  not  I  love  Thee  from  my  soul  ? 

Then  let  me  nothing  love: 
Dead  be  my  heart  to  ev'ry  joy 
Which  Thou  dost  not  approve. 

3  Is  not  Thy  name  melodious  still 

To  mine  attentive  ear? 
Doth  not  each  pulse  with  pleasure  beat 
My  Saviour's  voice  to  hear  ? 

4  Hast  Thou  a  lamb  in  all  Thy  flock 

I  would  disdain  to  feed? 
Hast  Thou  a  foe  before  whose  face 
I  fear  Thy  cause  to  plead  ? 

5  Thou  know'st  I  love  Thee,  dearest  Lord ; 

But  oh  !  I  long  to  soar 
Far  from  the  sphere  of  mortal  joys, 
That  I  mav  love  Thee  more. 


40S 

1  Blest  Jesus!  when  my  soaring  thoughts 

O'er  all  Thy  graces  rove, 
How  is  my  soul  in  transport  lost — 
In  wonder,  joy,  and  love  ! 

2  Xot  softest  strains  can  charm  mine  ears, 

Like  Thy  beloved  name ; 


Nor  aught  beneath  the  skies  inspire 
My  heart  with  equal  flame. 

3  Where'er  I  look,  my  wond'ring  eyes 

Unnumber'd  blessings  see; 
But  what  is  life,  with  all  its  bliss. 
If  once  compared  to  Thee? 

4  When  nature  faints,  around  my  bed 

Let  Thy  bright  glories  shine  ; 
And  death  shall  all  his  terrors  lose 
In  raptures  so  divine. 

1  God,  my  supporter  and  my  hope, 

My  help  for  ever  near. 
Thine  arm  of  mercy  holds  me  up. 
And  saves  me  from  despair. 

2  Thy  counsels.  Lord,  shall  guide  my  feet 

Through  this  dark  wilderness  ; 
Thy  hand  conduct  me  near  Thy  seat, 
To  dwell  before  Thy  face. 

3  Were  I  in  heaven  without  my  God, 

'Twould  be  no  joy  to  me, 
And  while  this  earth  is  my  abode, 
I  long  for  none  but  Thee. 

4  What  if  the  springs  of  life  were  broke, 

And  flesh  and  heart  should  faint? 
God  is  my  soul's  eternal  rock, 
The  strength  of  ev'ry  saint.

1  Poor,  weak,  and  worthless  thougli  I  am, 

I  have  a  rich  alniiglitv  friend  ; 
Jesus,  the  Saviour,  is  His  name, 
He  freely  loves,  and  without  end. 

2  He  ransom'd  me  from  hell  with  hlood, 

And,  by  His  power,  my  foes  controll'd  ; 
He  found  me  wand'ring  far  from  God, 
And  brought  me  to  His  chosen  fold. 

3  But,  ah  !  my  inmost  spirit  mourns  ; 

And  well  my  eyes  with  tears  may  swim, 


To  think  of  my  perverse  returns  ; 
I've  been  a  faithless  friend  to  Him. 

4  Often  ni}^  gracious  Friend  I  grieve, 

Neglect,  distrust,  and  disobey; 
And  often  Satan's  lies  believe 

Rather  than  all  my  Friend  can  say. 

5  Sure,  were  I  not  most  vile  and  base,' 

I  could  not  thus  my  Friend  requite! 
And  were  not  He  the  God  of  grace. 

He'd  frown  and  spurn  me  from  His  sight.

1  Jesus.  I  my  cross  have  taken, 

All  to  leave  ami  follow  Thee  ; 
Naked,  poor,  despiserl,  forsaken. 

Thou,  from  hence.  n)y  all  shalt  he: 
Perish  every  fond  ainhition. 

All  I've  soui^ht,  or  hoped,  or  known 
Yet  how  rich  is  my  condition  I 

God  and  heaven  are  still  niv  own. 


3  Man  may  trouhle  and  distress  me, 

'Twill  but  drive  me  to  Thy  breast; 
Life  with  trials  hard  may  press  me. 

Heaven  will  brinpr  me  sweeter  rest. 
Oh  !  'tis  not  in  grief  to  harm  me, 

While  Thy  love  is  lefl  to  me; 
Oil !  'twere  not  in  joy  to  charm  me, 

Were  that  joy  unmix'd  with  Thee. 


2  Let  the  world  d«»spise  and  leave  me, 

Thcv  have  left  my  Saviour,  too  ; 
Human  hearts  and  loolcs  deceive  me; 

Thou  art  not,  like  them,  untrue: 
And  while  Thou  shalt  snnlc  upf>n  me, 

(i(ni  of  wisdom,  love,  anr"  mii^ht, 
Ff)es  may  hate.  an<l  friends  may  scorn  me 

Show  Thy  face  and  all  is  bright. 


Take,  mv  soul,  thy  full  salvation  ; 

Kis'.>  o'er  sill,  and  fear,  and  care; 
Joy  to  find,  in  every  station. 

Something  still  to  do  or  bear: 
Think  what  Spirit  dwells  within  thee! 

What  a  Father's  smile  is  thine  ! 
What  a  Saviour  died  to  win  thee! 

Child  of  heaven,  shouldst  thou  repined

1  Jesns.  rny  all,  to  heaven  is  gone, 
He  whom  I  hx  my  hopes  upon  ; 
His  track  I  see,  and  I'll  pursue 
The  narrow  wav,  till  Him  I  view, 


2  The  way  the  holy  prophets  went. 
The  road  that  leads  from  banishment 
The  King's  higliway  of  holiness, 

I'll  go  ;  for  all  His  paths  are  peace. 

3  This  is  the  way  I  long  have  sousht. 
And  mourn'd  because  I  found  it  not; 
^ly  grief  and  burden  long  has  been, 
That  I  was  not  released  from  sin. 

4  The  more  I  strove  against  its  power. 
I  sinn'd  and  stumbled  but  the  more; 
Till  late  I  heard  my  Saviour  say, 
"Come  hither,  soul ;  I  am  the  way." 


Lo,  glad  I  come,  and  Thou,  dear  Lamb, 
Shalt  take  me  to  Thee  as  I  am  : 
Nothing  out  sin  T  Thee  can  give, 
Nothing  but  love  do  I  receive.

We  seek  that  pnnnised  soil : 
The  songs  of  Zion  cheer  our  liearts, 
While  strantiers  here  we  toil. 


2  Oft  do  our  eyes  with  joy  o'erflow, 
And  oft  are  hathed  in  tears; 
Yet  nought  but  heaven  our  ho])es  can  raise, 
And  nouyrht  but  sin  our  fears.

We  bear  the  cross  lie  bore  ; 
And  ev'ry  thorn  that  wounds  our  feet, 
His  tenjj)les  pierced  before. 


4  Our  powers  are  oft  dissolved  away 
In  ecstasies  of  love; 
And  while  our  bodies  wander  here 
Our  souls  are  lix'd  above.

1  When  Jesiis  dwelt  in  mortal  clay, 
What  were  His  works  from  day  to  da}'', 
But  miracles  of  power  and  grace, 
Which  spread  salvation  through  our  race? 


2  Teach  us,  0  Lord,  to  keep  in  view 
Thy  pattern,  and  Thy  steps  pursuer 
Let  alms  bestow'd,  let  kindness  done, 
Be  witness'd  bv  each  rolling  sun. 


3  That  man  may  last,  but  never  lives. 
Who  much  receives,  but  nothing  gives; 
Whom  none  can  love,  whom  none  can  thank, 
Creation's  blot,  creation's  blank. 


4  But  he  who  marks  from  day  to  day 
hi  gpu'rotis  acts  his  radiant  way. 
Treads  the  same  path  the  Saviour  trod, 
The  path  to  glory  and  to  God.

How  blest  are  all  whose  hearts  unite 
In  bonds  of  piety.

As  no  increase  of  riches  brings, 
Nor  honors  can  bestow.

And  each  })erforms  his  part, 
In  all  the  cares  of  life  and  love. 
With  sympathizing  heart,

By  one  desire  possest, 
One  aim  the  zeal  of  all  employs. 
To  make  each  other  blest. 

5  No  bliss  can  equal  theirs, 

Whore  such  afToctions  meet; 
While  praise  devout,  and  mingled  prayers 
Make  their  communion  sweet. 


6  'Tis  the  same  pleasure  fills 
The  breast  in  worlds  above. 
Where  joy,  like  morning-dew,  distils, 
And  all  the  air  is  love.

1  Oh,  happy  soul  that  lives  on  high, 

While  men  lie  grov'ling  here. 
His  hopes  are  fix'd  above  the  skj^ 
And  faith  forbids  his  fear. 

2  His  conscience  knows  no  secret  stings, 

Wlule  grace  and  joy  combine 
To  form  a  life  whose  holy  springs 
Are  hidden  and  divine. 

3  He  waits  in  secret  on  his  God: 

His  God  in  secret  sees  : 


Let  earth  be  all  in  arms  abroad. 

He  dwells  in  heavenly  peace. 
His  pleasures  rise  from  things  unseen, 

Beyond  this  world  and  time. 
Where  neither  eyes  nor  ears  liave  been, 

Xor  thoughts  of  mortals  climb. 
He  looks  to  heaven's  eternal  hill. 

To  meet  that  glorious  day 
When  Christ  His  i)romise  shall  fulfil 

And  call  his  soul  awav.

Beloved,  '"  It  is  well  I  " 

God's  ways  are  always  right ; 
And  perfect  love  is  o'er  them  all, 

Though  far  above  our  sight. 
Beloved,  "  It  is  well !  " 

Though  deep  and  sore  the  smart, 
The  hand  that  wounds  knows  how  to  bind 

And  heal  the  broken  heart. 


Beloved,  "  It  is  well !  " 

Though  sorrow  clouds  our  way. 
'Twill  only  make  the  joy  more  dear 

That  ushers  in  the  day. 
Beloved,  ''  It  is  well!  " 

The  path  that  Jesus  trod. 
Though  rough  and  strait  and  dark  it  be. 

Leads  horue  to  heaven  and  God.

Soon  their  happiness  shall  see.

There  your  kingdom  and  reward.

Applied  to  cleanse  my  soul  from  guilt, 
And  bring  me  home  to  God.

And,  w^hen  the  evening  shades  prevail'd, 
His  love  was  all  my  song.

And  saw  His  glory  shine ; 


And,  when  I  read  His  holy  word, 
I  call'd  each  promise  mine.

My  soul  in  darkness  mourns ; 
And  when  the  morn  the  light  reveals. 
No  light  to  me  returns.

And  make  my  soul  his  prey  ;     «

Of  all  who  e'er  Thy  grace  received, 
Ten  thousand  times  Thy  goodness  seen, 
Ten     thousand    times    Thy    goodness

In  honor  of  my  great  High-Priest; 
Nor  in  Thy  righteous  anger  swear 
T'  exclude  me  from  Thy  people's  rest. 

6  This  only  woe  I  deprecate, 

This  only  })lague  I  pray  remove, 
Nor  leave  me  in  my  lost  estate, 
Nor  curse  me  with  this  want  of  love. 

6  E'en  now  my  weary  soul  release, 

Ui">raise  mc  with  Thy  gracious  hand, 
And  guide  into  Thy  perfect  peace. 
And  hring  me  to  the  promised  land.

1  Affliction  is  a  stormy  deep, 

Where  waves  resounds  to  wave; 
Though  o'er  my  head  the  billows  roll, 
I  know  the  Lord  can  save. 


2  The  hand  that  now  withholds  my  joys 
Can  reinstate  my  peace ; 
And  He  who  bade  the  tempest  roar, 
Can  bid  that  tempest  cease. 


3  In  the  dark  watches  of  the  night, 
I'll  count  His  mercies  o'er; 
24  369 


I'll  praise  Him  for  ten  thousand  past, 
And  humbly  sue  for  more. 


When  darkness  and  when  sorrows  rose 

And  press' d  on  every  side. 
The  Lord  has  still  sustain'd  my  steps, 

And  still  has  been  my  guide. 


Here  will  I  rest,  and  build  my  hopes, 

Nor  murmur  at  His  rod  , 
He's  more  than  all  the  world  to  me, 

My  health,  my  life,  my  God !

Affiicted  at  Thy  feet  I  (Vill ;  I 

When  the  great  water-floods  prevail,  I 

Leave  not  my  trembling  heart  to  fail.  I 

Friend  of  the  friendless  and  the  faint!  I  4 
Where  should  I  lodge  my  deep  complaint? 

Where  but  with  Thee,  whose  open  door  | 

Invites  the  helpless  and  the  poor!  I 


Did  ever  mourner  plead  with  Thee, 
And  Thou  refuse  that  mourner's  plea? 
Does  not  Thy  word  still  fix'd  remain. 
That  none  shall  seek  Thy  face  in  vain  ! 
Poor  though  I  am — despised,  forgot, 
Yet  God,  my  God,  forgets  me  not ; 
And  he  is  safe,  and  must  succeed. 
For  whom  the  Lord  vouchsafes  to  plead.

We're  absent  from  the  Lord.

This  gloomy  earth  forsaking, 
Our  journey  homeward  taking 

Along  the  starry  road. 

2  No,  no,  it  is  not  dying, 

Heaven's  citizen  to  be; 
A  crown  immortal  wearing, 
And  rest  unbroken  sharing, 

From  care  and  conflict  free. 

3  No,  no,  it  is  not  dying. 

The  Shepherd's  Voice  to  know  ; 

HOME 


His  sheep  He  ever  leadeth, 
His  peaceful  flock  He  feedeth, 

Where  living  pastures  grow. 
No,  no,  it  is  not  dying 

To  wear  a  heavenly  crown  ; 
Among  God's  people  dwelling, 
The  glorious  triumph  swelling 

Of  Him  whose  sway  we  own. 
Oh,  no,  this  is  not  dying. 

Thou  Saviour  of  mankind  ! 
There  streams  of  love  are  flowing, 
No  hindrance  ever  knowing; 

Here  only  drops  we  find.

1  One  sweetly  solemn  thought 

Comes  to  me  o'er  and  o'er: 

I'm  nearer  to  my  home  to-day 

Than  e'er  I've  been  before: 

2  Nearer  my  Father's  house. 

Where  many  mansions  be. 
Nearer  the  throne  where  Jesus  reigns, 

Nearer  the  crystal  sea. 
Nearer  the  bound  of  life 

Where  burdens  are  laid  down, 


Nearer  leaving  the  cross  of  grief, 
Nearer  gaining  the  crown. 

4  But  lying  dark  between, 
And  winding  through  the  night. 

Flows  on  the  deep  and  unknown  stream, 
That  leads  me  to  the  light. 

5  Jesus,  perfect  my  trust. 
Strengthen  my  hand  of  faith. 

And  be  Thou  near  me  when  I  stand 
Upon  the  shore  of  death.

The  trials,  temptations,  and  woes, 
Which  darken  this  valley  of  tears, 
Intrude  on  my  blissful  repose.

Away  from  yon  heaven,  that  blissful  abode. 

Where  the  rivers  of  pleasure  flow  o'er  the  bright  plains, 
And  the  noontide  of  glory  eternally  reigns  ?

Their  Saviour  and  brethren,  transported  to  greet; 
While  anthems  of  rapture  unceasingly  roll, 
And  the  smile  of  the  Lord  is  the  feast  of  the  soul.

And  humbly  own  to  Thee 

How  feeble  is  our  mortal  frame, 

What  dying  worms  are  we! 

2  Our  wasting  lives  are  short'ning  still, 

As  months  and  days  increase; 
And  ev'ry  beating  pulse  we  tell 
Leaves  but  the  number  less. 

3  Great  God  !  on  what  a  slender  thread 

Hang  everlasting  things  I 


Th'  eternal  state  of  all  the  dead 

Upon  life's  feeble  strings. 
Infinite  joy,  or  endless  woe 

Attends  on  every  breath  ; 
And  yet  how  unconcern 'd  we  go 

Upon  the  brink  of  death  ! 
Waken,  0  Lord,  our  drowsy  sense, 

To  walk  this  dangerous  road! 
And  if  our  souls  are  hurried  hence, 

Mav  thev  be  found  with  God.

1  And  must  this  body  die? 

This  mortal  frame  decay? 
And  must  these  active  limbs  of  mine 
Lie  mould' ring  in  the  clay? 

2  God,  my  Redeemer,  lives, 

And  often,  from  the  skies, 
Looks  down  and  watches  all  mv  dust, 
Till  He  shall  bid  it  rise. 

3  Array'd  in  glorious  grace 

Shall  these  vile  bodies  shine,

And  ev'ry  shape,  and  ev'ry  face. 

Look  heavenly  and  divine. 
These  lively  hopes  we  owe 

To  Jesus'  dying  love; 
We  would  adore  His  grace  below, 

And  sing  His  power  above. 
Dear  Lord,  accept  the  praise 

Of  these  our  humble  songs. 
Till  tunes  of  nobler  sounds  we  raise 

With  our  immortal  tongues.

1  Why  should  we  start  and  fear  to  die? 

What  tiiu'rous  worms  we  mortals  are! 
Death  is  tiic  gate  of  eiuUess  joy. 
And  yet  we  dread  to  enter  there. 

2  The  pains,  the  groans,  and  dying  strife, 

Fright  our  approaching  souls  away  : 
Still  we  shrink  l)ack  again  to  life, 
Fond  of  our  prison  and  our  clay. 


3  Oh,  if  my  Lord  would  come  and  meet. 

My  soul  should  stretch  lier  wings  in  haste, 
Fly  fearless  through  death's  iron  gate, 
Nor  feel  the  terrors  as  she  pass'd. 

4  Jesus  can  make  a  dying  bed 

Feel  soft  as  downy  pillows  are, 
While  on  his  hreast  I  lean  my  head, 
And  breathe  my  life  out  sweetlv  there.

Beneath  us  lie  the  countless  dead. 
And  far  above  is  heaven.

Each  season  has  its  own  disease, 
Its  peril  ev'ry  hour.

ANTICIPATION  OF  DEATH. 

HOWARD.    CM.

Mrs.  CUTHBERT. 


"When,  rising  from  the  bed  of  death 

O'erwhelni'd  with  guilt  and  fear, 
I  see  my  ^laker  face  to  face, 

Oh,  liow  shall  I  appear! 
If  yet,  while  pardon  may  be  found,  j  5 

And  mercy  niay  be  sought,  i 

My  heart  with  inward  horror  shrinks,         ! 

And  trembles  at  the  thought: — 
When  Thou,  0  Lord  I  shalt  stand  disclosed  6 

In  majesty  severe. 
And  sit  in  judgment  on  my  soul,  i 

Oh,  how  shall  I  ai)pear  !  ' 

SHAWMUT. 


4  But  there's  forgiveness.  Lord,  with  Thee; 
Thy  nature  is  benign  : 

Thy  pard'ning  mercy  1  implore. 
For  mercy,  Lord,  is  Thine. 

5  Oh,  let  Thy  boundless  mercy  shine 
On  my  benighted  soul  I 

Correct  my  passions,  mend  my  heart, 

And  all  my  fears  control. 
And  may  I  taste  Thy  richer  grace, 

In  that  decisive  hour. 
When  Christ  to  judgment  shall  descend 

And  time  shall  be  no  more.

Oh.  where  shall  rest  be  found, 

Rest  for  the  weary  soul  ? 
'Twere  vain  the  ocean's  depths  to  sound. 

Or  pierce  1o  either  pole. 
The  world  can  never  give 

The  bliss  for  which  we  sigh  : 
'Tis  not  the  whole  of  life  to  live, 

Nor  all  of  death  to  die. 
Beyond  this  vale  of  tears 

There  is  a  life  above. 
Unmeasured  by  the  flight  of  years — 

And  all  that  life  is  love. 


383 


4  There  is  a  death  whose  pang 

Outlasts  the  fleeting  breath  : 
Oh,  what  eternal  horrors  hang 
Around  the  second  death  ! 

5  Lord  God  of  truth  and  grace! 

Teach  us  that  death  to  shun  : 
Lest  we  be  driven  from  Thy  face, 
And  evermore  undone. 

6  Here  would  we  end  our  quest; 

Alone  are  found  in  Thee 
The  life  of  f)erfect  love,  the  rest 
Of  immortality.

When  sinks  a  weary  soul  to  rest! 
How  ujiUily  beam  the  elosing  eyes! 
How  gently  heaves. th'  expiring  breast! 


2  So  f^des  a  summer  cloud  away  ; 

So  sinks  the  pale  when  storms  are  o'er; 
So  gently  shuts  the  eye  of  day  ; 
So  dies  a  wave  along  the  shore. 


3  A  holy  quiet  reigns  around, 

A  calm  which  life  nor  death  destroys  ; 


And  nonght  disturbs  that  peace  profound 
Which  his  unfettor'd  soul  enjoys. 


4  Farewell,  conflicting  hopes  and  fears, 

Where  lights  and  shades  alternate  dwell ; 
How  liright  th'  unchanging  morn  a]>|)earsl 
Farewell,  inconstant  world,  farewell !

To  the  Lamb  amid  the  tlirone, 
And  proclaim  in  joyful  psalms, 
Victory  through  JEIis  cross  alone.

Crying,  as  they  strike  the  chords — 
"  Take  the  kingdom  ;  it  is  Thine,

1  We  join  to  pray,  with  wishes  kind, 
A  blessing;.  Lord,  from  Thee, 
On  those  wlio  now  the  hands  have  twined 
Which  ne'er  may  broken  be. 


2  We  know  that  scenes  not  always  briglit 
Must  unto  them  be  given  ; 
But  over  all  ji;ive  Thou  tlie  light 
Of  love,  and  truth,  and  heaven. 


3  Still  hand  in  hand,  their  journey  through 
.Joint  pilgrims  may  they  go; 
Mingling  tluMrjoys  as  helpers  truo, 
And  sharing  everv  woe. 


4  May  each  in  each  still  feed  the  flame 
(if  ])ure  and  holy  love  ; 
In  faith  and  trust  and  heart  the  same, 
The  same  their  home  above.

Where  God  had  bid  it  shine.

Call  to  the  strong,  the  free; 
Rouse  them  to  slum  that  dreadful  fall 
And  to  the  Refuge  flee.

Pray  to  our  God  above. 
To  break  the  fell  destroyer's  sway, 
And  show  His  saving  love.

1  I  think,  when  I  read  that  sweet  story  of  old, 
When  Jesi>v^was  liere  among  men, 
How  He  caird  little  children  as  lambs  to  His  fold, 
I  should  like  to  have  been  with  them  then. 


2  I  wish  that  His  hands  had  been  placed  on  my  head. 

That  His  arms  had  been  thrown  around  me, 
And  that  I  might  liave  seen  His  kind  look  when  He  said. 
"  Let  the  little  ones  come  unto  me." 

3  Yet  still  to  His  footstool  in  prayer  I  may  go, 

And  ask  for  a  share  in  His  love ; 
And  if  I  tlius  earnestly  seek  Him  below, 
I  shall  see  Him  and'hear  Him  above, — 

4  In  that  beautiful  place  He  is  gone  to  prepare 

For  all  who  are  wash'd  and  forgiven  ; 
And  many  dear  children  are  gathering  there, 
"  For  of  such  is  the  kingdom  of  heaven." 


iG 


5  I  long  for  the  joys  of  that  glorious  time, 
The  sweetest,  and  brightest,  and  best. 
When  the  dear  little  children  of  every  clime 
Shall  crowd  to  His  arms  and  be  blessed.

Oh,  let  them  ne'er  forgotten  be 
Remember  all  the  prayers  and  tears 
Which  made  them  consecrate  to  Thee. 


4  And  when  these  lips  no  more  can  pray, 
These  eyes  can  weep  for  them  no  more, 
Turn  Thou  their  feet  from  folly's  way, 
The  wand'rcrs  to  Thy  fold  restore."

The  sun  itself  is  hut  Thy  shade, 

Yet  cheers  hoth  earth  and  sky. 
Oh.  let  Thy  rising  beams 

The  night  of  sin  disperse, 
The  mists  of  error  and  t)f  vice 

Which  shade  the  universe  I 
How  beauteous  nature  now  I 

How  dark  and  sad  before ! 


With  joy  we  view  the  pleasing  change. 

And  nature's  God  adore. 
Oh.  may  no  gloomy  crime 

Pollute  the  rising  day  ; 
May  Jesus'  blood,  like  morning  dew, 

Wash  all  our  stains  away. 
To  God,  the  Fatlier,  Son, 

And  .Spirit,  One  in  Three, 
Be  glory,  as  it  was,  is  now, 

And  shall  for  ever  be.

Thy  gifts  are  ev'ry  ev'ning  new, 
And  morning  mercies  from  above 
CJently  descend  like  early  dew.

Great  (Juardian  of  my  sle(!|)ing  hours 
Thy  sov'reign  word  restores  the  light, 
And  (piickens  all  my  drowsy  powers. 

3  I  yield  myself  to  Thy  command. 

To  Thee  <lcvote  my  nights  and  days  ; 
Perpetual  blessirigs  i'rom  Thy  hand 
Demand  pcrjjetuul  hyms  of  praise,

When,  streaming  from  the  eastern  skies, 
The  morning  light  salutes  mine  eyes, 
O  Sun  of  righteousness  divine! 
On  me,  witli  b(>ams  of  mercy,  sliine. 
When  each  day's  scenes  and  labors  close, 
And  wearied  nature  seeks  T-e]>osc, 
With  itard'ning  mercy  richly  blest, 
G\iard  me,  my  Savicmr.  while  T  rest. 
And.  at  \\\\  life's  last  setting  siwi, 
My  conflicts  o'er,  my  labors  done, 
Jesus,  Thy  heavenly  radianee  shed 
To  cheer  and  bless  ray  dying-bed.

1  Hosanna  with  a  cheerful  sound 

To  God's  upholding  hand! 
Ten  thousand  snares  our  path  surround, 
And  yet  secure  we  stand. 

2  How  wondrous  is  that  mighty  power 

Which  form'd  us  with  a  word ! 
And  ev'ry  day  and  ev'ry  liour 
We  lean  upon  the  Lord. 


The  rising  morn  cannot  assure 

That  we  shall  end  the  day  ; 
For  death  stands  ready  at  the  door 

To  take  our  lives  away. 
God  is  our  Sun.  whose  daily  light 

Our  joy  and  safety  brings; 
Our  feeble  frame  lies  safe  at  night 

Beneath  His  sheltering  wings.

All  praise  to  Thee,  who  safe  hast  kept, 

And  hast  refresh'd  me,  while  I  slept! 

Grant,  Lord,  when  I  from  death  shall  wake, 

I  may  of  endless  light  partake.

And  witness  to  Thy  love  and  power. 

3  And  yet  this  thoughtless,  wretched  heart, 

Too  oft  regardless  of  Thy  love, 


Ungrateful,  can  from  Thee  depart, 
And  from  the  j)ath  of  duty  rove. 

4  Seal  my  forgiveness  in  the  blood 

Of  Christ,  my  Lord  ;  His  name  alone 
I  plead  for  pardon,  gracious  Cn^d, 
And  kind  acceptance  at  Thy  throne.

With  sleep  refresh  my  feeble  frame;

Underneath  its  boundless  shade: 


Take  me  to  Thy  rest,  I  pray  Thee, 

When  my  pilgrimage  is  made! 
None  shall  measure  out  Thy  patience 

By  the  span  of  human  thought; 
None  shall  bound  the  tender  mercies 

Which  Thy  Holy  Son  hath  wrought. 
Pardon  all  my  past  transgressions; 

Give  me  strength  for  days  to  come; 
Guide  and  guard  me  with  Thy  blessing, 

Till  Thine  angels  bid  me  home  1

In  life,  in  death,  O  Lord,  abide  with  me!

1  Softiv  fades  the  twilight  rav 
Of  the  h(.ly  Sabbath  day  ;  ' 
Gently  as  life's  setting  sun. 
When  the  Christian's  course  is  run. 

2  Peace  is  on  the  world  abroad; 
'Tis  the  holy  peace  of  (rod — 
Symbol  of  the  peace  within. 
When  the  spirit  rests  from  sin. 


3  Still  the  Spirit  lingers  near, 
Where  the  evening  worshipper 
Seeks  communion  with  the  skies. 
Pressing  onward  to  the  prize. 

4  Saviour,  may  our  Sabbaths  be 
Davs  of  peace  and  joy  in  Thee  ; 
Till  in  heaven  our  souls  repose. 
Where  the  Sabbath  ne'er  shall  close.

1  Far  from  the  world,  O  Lord,  I  flee; 
From  strife  and  tumult  far; 
From  scenes  where  Satan  wages  still 
His  most  successful  war. 


2  The  calm  retreat,  the  silent  sliade, 
With  prayer  and  praise  agree ; 
And  seem  by  Thy  sweet  bounty  made 
For  those  who  follow  Thee. 


3  Tlien  if  Tliy  Spirit  touch  the  soul 
And  grace  her  moan  abode, 
Oil,  with  what  j)eace.  and  joy,  and  love 
Does  she  commune  with  (iod  ! 


4  There,  like  tiie  nightingale,  siie  jiours 
Her  solitarv'  lays; 
Nor  asks  a  witness  of  hcr  song. 
Nor  thirsts  for  human  praise.

1  Oh,  mean  may  seem  this  house  of  clay- 
Yet  'twas  tlie  Lord's  abode; 
Our  feet  may  mourn  this  thorny  way, 
Yet  here  Immanuel  trod. 


2  This  fleshy  robe  tlie  Lord  did  wear, 
Tliis  watch  the  Lord  did  keep. 
These  burdens  sore  tlie  Lord  did  bear, 
These  tears  the  Lord  did  weep. 


3  This  world  the  Master  overcame, 
This  death  the  Lord  did  die; 
0  vanquish'd  world  !  O  glorious  shame! 
0  hallow'd  agony  ! 


4  O  vale  of  tears,  no  longer  sad, 
Wherein  the  Lord  did  dwell ; 
O  holy  robe  of  flesh,  that  clad 
Our  own  Immanuel! 


5  Our  very  frailty  brings  us  near 
Unto  the  Lord  of  heaven  ; 
To  every  grief,  to  every  tear, 
Such  glory  strange  is  given.

And,  peaceful,  leave  before  Thy  feet.

Be  Thou  our  joy,  and  Thou  our  rest ; 
Thy  goodness  all  our  hopes  shall  raise, 
Adored  th.rough  all  our  changing  davs. 


When  death  shall  interrupt  our  songs, 
And  seal  in  silence  mortal  tongues, 
Our  Helper,  God,  in  whom  we  trust, 
In  better  worlds  our  souls  shall  boast.

With  blessings  crowns  each  0])'ning  year; 
These  lives,  so  frail,  dost  Thou  prolong, 
And  wake  anew  our  annual  song.

To  the  dark  regions  of  the  dead. 
Since,  from  this  day,  the  changing  sun 
Through  his  last  yearly  course  has  run !

Or  through  the  year,  or  month,  or  day 
I  shall  retain  my  vital  breath. 
Thus  far,  at  least,  in  league  with  death 


4  That  breath  is  Thine,  eternal  God  I 
'Tis  Thine  to  fix  the  soul's  abode  : 
We  hold  our  lives  from  Thee  alone, 
On  earth,  or  in  the  world  unknown. 


5  To  Thee  we  all  our  powers  resign  ; 
Make  us  and  own  us  still  as  Thine: 
Then  shall  we  smile,  secure  from  fear. 
Though  death  should  blast  the  rising  year.

1  Foiint.iin  of  mercy,  God  of  love, 

How  rich  Thy  bouTitics  are; 
The  changing  seasons,  as  they  move, 
Proclaim  Thy  constant  care. 

2  When  in  the  bosom  of  the  earth, 

The  sower  hid  the  grain, 
Thy  goodness  mark'd  its  secret  birtli. 
And  sent  the  early  rain.  [Thine, 

3  The   spring's   sweet   influence,  Lord,  was 

The  plants  in  beauty  grew; 


Thou  gav'st  refulgent  suns  to  shine. 
And  soft  refreshing  dew. 

4  These  varied  niercies,  from  above. 

Matured  the  swelling  grain  : 
A  kindly  harv(>st  crowns  Thy  love, 
And  plenty  fills  the  plain. 

5  We  own  and  bless  Thy  gracious  sway 

Thy  hand  all  nature  hails: 
Seed-time  nor  harvest,  night  nor  day, 
Summer  «or  winter  fails.

And  sinners  may  hope  since  the  Saviour  hath  died. 

3  Thou  art  gone  to  the  grave;  and,  its  man.sion  forsaking. 

Perchance  thy  weak  spirit  in  doubt  linger'd  long; 
But  the  sunshine  of  heaven  beam'd  bright  on  thy  waking, 
And  the  sound  thou  didst  hear  was  the  seraphim's  song. 

4  Thou  art  gone  to  the  grave;  hut  we  will  not  deplore  thee, 

Since  (Jod  was  thy  Ransom,  thy  Guardian,  thy  duide; 
He  gave  thee,  He  look  thee,  and  He  will  restore  thee; 
And  death  has  no  sting  since  the  Saviour  hath  ilied.

The  ashes  with  ashes,  the  dust  with  the  clay ; 
But  lift  up  the  heart,  and  the  eye,  and  the  love, 
Oh,  lift  up  the  soul  to  the  regions  above. 

2  Since  He,  the  Immortal,  hath  entered  the  gate, 
So,  too,  shall  we  mortals,  or  sooner  or  late; 

Then  stand  we  on  Christ;  let  us  mark  Him  ascend, 
For  His  is  the  glory  and  life  without  end. 

3  On  earth  with  His  own  ones,  the  Giver  of  good, 
Bestowing  His  blessing,  a  little  while  stood  : 
Now  nothing  can  part  us,  nor  distance,  nor  foes. 
For  lo !  He  is  with  us,  and  who  can  oppose? 

4  So,  Lord,  we  commit  this  our  brother  to  Thee, 
Whose  body  is  dead,  but  whose  spirit  is  free ; 

We  know  that  through  grace,  when  our  life  here  is  done. 
We  live  still  in  Thee,  and  forever  in  one. 

5  All  glory  to  Thee,  Father,  Spirit,  and  Son. 
Who  three  art  in  person,  in  substance  but  one. 
In  whom  we  have  victory  over  the  grave, 
Who  lovest  Thy  people  to  pardon  and  save.

1  Why  do  we  mourn  departing  friends? 

Or  shake  at  death's  alarms? 
'Tis  but  the  voice  that  Jesus  sends 
To  call  them  to  His  arms. 

2  Are  we  not  tending  upward  too, 

As  fast  as  time  can  move? 
Nor  would  we  wish  tlie  hours  more  slow 
To  keej)  us  from  our  love. 

3  Why  should  we  tremble  to  convey 

Their  bodies  to  the  tomb? 
There  the  dear  flesh  of  Jesus  lay, 
Ilia  light  dispell'd  its  gloom. 


4  The  graves  of  all  His  saints  He  blest, 

And  soften'd  ev'ry  bed  ; 
Where  should  the  dying  members  rest, 
But  with  the  dying  Head? 

5  Thence  He  an>se,  ascending  high, 

And  show'd  our  feet  the  way  ; 
Up  to  the  Lord  our  flesh  shall  fly 
At  the  great  rising-day. 

6  Then  let  the  last  loud  trumpet  sound, 

And  bid  our  kindred  rise; 
Awake,  ye  nations  under  ground; 
Ye  saints,  ascend  the  skies.

Tliose  blessed  ones  who  weep  no  more 
Jesus  hath  call'd  them  to  the  sky, 
And  gladly  have  they  gone  before. 

2  A  few  sliort  days  they  linger'd  here,

And  early  now  liave  j)arted  too.

Why  should  we  mourn  that  midnight  skies 

J5ecome  with  added  glories  bright? 
Far  in  the  distant  heavens  they  sliine. 

But  still  with  borrow'd  lustre  glow  ;         . 
Saviour,  the  beams  are  only  Thine,  | 

Of  saints  above,  or  saints  below.  ^ 

For  them  no  bitter  tear  we  shed — 

Their  night  of  ]>ain  an<l  grief  is  o'er — 
But  weep  our  lonely  i)ath  to  tread. 

And  see  the  forms  we  loved,  no  more.

Dost  Thou  now  in  joy  receive  it. 
Clothed  in  robes  of  .spotless  white, 
Now  it  dwells  with  Ihee  in  light.

Wliere  it  lives  may  soon  be  living, 
And  the  lovely  pastures  see 

That  its  heavenly  food  are  giving. 
Then  the  gain  of  death  we'll  prove.

1  The  day  of  wrath,  that  dreadful  day, 
When  heaven  and  earth  shall  pass  away — 
What  power  shall  be  the  sinner's  stay  ? 
How  shall  he  meet  that  dreadful  day  ? 

2  When,  shriv'ling  like  a  parched  scroll, 
The  flaming  heavens  together  roll, 


And  louder  yet,  and  yet  more  dread, 
Resounds  the  trump  that  wakes  the  dead? 
Oh,  on  that  day,  that  wrathful  day, 
When  man  to  judgment  wakes  from  clay, 
Be  Thou,  0  Christ,  the  sinner's  stay, 
Though  heaven  and  earth  shall  pass  away.

come, 
To  call  Thy  ransom'd  people  home, 

Shall  I  among  them  stand?

Who  sometimes  am  afraid  to  die, 

Be  found  at  Thy  right  hand? 
I  love  to  meet  among  them  now. 
Before  Thy  gracious  feet  to  bow. 

Though  vilest  of  them  all ; 
But,  can  I  bear. the  piercing  thought? 
What  if  my  name  should  be  left  out. 

When  Thou  for  them  shalt  call  ? 


Be  thou  my  soul's  sure  hiding-place, 

In  this,  th'  accepted  day  ; 
Thy  pard'ning  voice,  oh,  let  me  hear, 
To  still  my  unbelieving  fear; 

Nor  let  me  fall,  I  pray. 
4  Let  me  among  thy  saints  be  found. 

Whene'er    the    archangel's    trump    shall 
sound. 

And  see  Thy  smiling  face  : 
Then  loudest  of  the  crowd  I'll  sing. 
While  heaven's  resounding  mansions  ring 

With  shouts  to  sov'reign  grace.

Ye  sinners,  seek  His  grace.

Fly  to  the  shelter  of  His  Cross, 

And  find  salvation  there. 
So  shall  that  curse  remove.

Friend  after  friend  departs  ; 

Who  hath  not  lost  a  friend? 
There  is  no  union  here  of  hearts, 

That  finds  not  here  an  end  : 
Were  this  frail  world  our  final  rest, 
Living  or  dying,  none  were  blest. 


Beyond  the  flight  of  time, 
Beyond  the  reign  of  deatli, 

There  surely  is  some  blessed  clime 
Where  life  is  not  a  breath, 

Nor  life's  affections,  transient  fire, 

Whose  sparks  fly  upward  and  expire. 


3  There  is  a  world  above, 

Where  parting  is  unknown  ; 
A  long  eternity  of  love 

Form'd  for  the  good  alone: 
And  faith  beholds  the  dying  here 
Translated  to  that  glorious  sphere. 


4  Thus  star  by  star  declines, 

Till  all  are  pass'd  away  ; 
As  morning  high  and  higher  shines 

To  pure  and  perfect  day  ; 
Nor  sink  those  stars  in  empty  night. 
But  hide  themselves  in  heaven's  own  light.

^ntbll^  IQaipmig, 


O  God,  our  Father  in  heaven,  we  come  before  Thee  in  the  name  of  Jes;is. 
to  offer  the  sacrifice  of  praise  and  thanksgiving.  Thou  art  clothed  with 
honor  and  majesty,  and  we  approach  Thee  with  reverence  and  holy  fear;  liut 
Thou  art  also  our  Father  in  Christ  Jesus,  and  wc  would  come  with  fihal 
C(mfidence  and  love. 

We  thank  Thee  for  the  healthful  repose  of  the  night,  and  for  the  light  of 
this  day  of  the  Hon  of  Man.  This  is  the  day  which  Thou  hast  made ;  wc 
will  rejoice  and  he  glad  in  it.  We  thank  Thee  for  this  day,  so  rich  with  th« 
memories  of  Tliy  love,  so  joyful  with  the  light  and  hoj)es  of  the  resurrection 
and  of  the  life  innnortal.  Oh,  may  Thy  love  beam  upon  us  with  the  fresh- 
ness and  ins})iration  of  the  morning  light !  Grant  us  grace,  to  consecrate  this 
day  to  Thy  special  service  and  glory,  and  to  our  ])ersonal  sanctification.  May 
wc  he  freed  from  all  the  cares  and  anxieties  of  the  world.  May  our  aspira- 
tions he  heavenward,  and  our  hearts  he  opened  to  all  the  sacnnl  suggestions 
and  influences  of  this  duv.  May  they  be  sweetly  drawn  by  Thy  Spirit  int  ) 
heavenly  communion,  and  rise  to  meet  Thy  fatherly  benediction. 

O  Lord,  grant  us  grace  to  unite  with  the  great  congregation  in  acceptable 
worshij),  so  that  we  may  see  Thy  glorv  in  the  saiu'tuarv  this  day.  May  Thy 
ministers  be  clothed  with  salvation,  and  the  p'ople  shout  for  joy.     May  the 

632 


SABBATH   MOKMNG. 

word  be  preached  in  the  demonstration  of  the  Spirit  and  with  power.  May 
the  gospel  be  so  preached,  in  simplicity,  and  affectionate  earnestness,  that 
Jesus  may  draw  all  hearts  to  himself;  that,  as  of  old,  the  blind,  and 
lame,  and  halt  may  come  to  Jesus  in  the  temple,  and  be  healed  :  that  tlie 
ignorant  may  be  enlightened,  the  wandering  reclaimed,  the  weak  estal)- 
lished,  the  mourner  comforted,  and  the  weary  and  heavy-laden  may  find  rest 
in  Jesus. 

Father  of  mercies,  remember  in  compassion  those  who  are  this  day  kept  in 
homes  of  sickness  and  sorrow.  May  private  affliction  subserve  the  designs 
of  public  instructions,  and  Thine  own  presence  and  spirit  make  the  chamber 
of  sickness,  and  the  home  of  sorroAv,  the  house  of  God  and  the  gate  of 
heaven- 
Have  mercy,  O  Lord,  upon  a  world  that  lieth  in  wickedness.  Send  out 
Thy  light  and  truth,  that  all  nations,  whom  Thou  hast  made,  may  come  and 
worship  before  Thee,  and  glorify  Thy  name.  We  thank  Thee  for  all  the 
agencies  and  instrumentalities  at  work  for  the  salvation  of  this  lost  world. 
We  bless  Thee  for  the  ministers,  who  are  preaching  the  gospel  at  home  and 
abroad.  May  their  number  be  increased  a  thousand-fold.  ]May  the  pious 
young  men  of  our  land  bo  moved  by  Thy  Spirit,  and  the  love  of  Jesus,  to 
consecrate  themselves  to  the  Christlike  work  of  preaching  the  gospel.  Oh, 
grant  this  prayer,  and  multiply  the  heralds  of  the  cross,  and  extend  the 
boundaries  of  Christendom,  until  the  light  of  this  holy  day  shall  fall  on 
every  nation,  and  the  name  of  Jesus  shall  be  heard  to  earth's  remotest 
bo  und. 

And  now,  O  Lord,  what  wait  we  for  but  Thy  blessing?  God  be  merciful 
unto  us  and  bless  us,  and  cause  His  face  to  shine  upon  us,  that  parents  and 
children,  and  all  the  members  of  this  household,  may  be  united  in  love,  and 
dwell  together  in  the  unity  of  the  Spirit  and  in  the  bond  of  peace.  ^lay  we 
all  this  day  receive  a  Father's  blessing,  and  enjoy  such  a  sweet  sense  of  Thy 
forgiving  love,  such  a  conscious  peace,  sucli  joyous  hopes  through  Jesus 
Christ,  as  shall  give  us  a  foretaste  and  an  earnest  of  heaven,  and  enable  uj* 
to  rejoice  in  hope  of  the  glory  of  God.  Hear  us,  O  Thou  eternal  Son,  to 
whom,  with  Thee  the  Father,  and  the  Holy  Ghost,  be  all  honor  and  glory, 
world  wHithout  end.     Amen.

^nbtnlli  '^u^ning. 


We  adore  Thee,  O  Lord,  as  the  Khvr  otoriud,  immortal,  and  invisible,  the 
only  wise  God.  We  bless  Thee,  as  the  God  and  Father  of  our  Lord  Jesus 
Christ,  who  according  to  Thine  abundant  mercy  hast  beirotten  us  again  unto 
a  lively  hope,  by  the  resurrection  of  Jesus  Christ  tVom  tlie  dead,  to  an 
inheritance  incorruptible  and  undetiled,  and  that  fa(U'lli  not  away,  reserved 
in  heaven  for  us. 

We  thank  Thee,  that  the  lines  have  fallen  lo  us  in  pleasant  j)hices,  and 
that  we  have  a  goodly  heritage;  that  ue  have  enjoyed  thi<  day  the  blessings 
of  our  risen  Lord,  and  that  our  heart-  have  be(^n  lifted  in  holy  asjiiration  for 
our  heavenly  home.  We  bless  Thee  f  )r  the  means  of  gracv-  and  the  hope  of 
glory.  AVe  bless  Thee  for  the  opp;)rtunities  we  have  enjoyed  this  day  of 
waiting  upon  Thee  in  the  public  worship  of  the  sanctuary,  and  in  private 
meditation  and  prayer,  and  for  every  good  impression  made  ujkju  our  minds 
by  the  ordinances  of  Thine  appointment.  Oh,  m;iy  the  lesson^  of  Thy  word 
guide  and  mouhl  our  life,  and  its  ho])es  animate  us  in  every  work  of  faith  and 
labor  of  love.  May  the  word  of  Christ  dwell  in  us  richly  in  all  wi-dom,  that 
we  may  teach  and  admonish  one  another  in  i)salms  and  hynni<  and  spiritual 
songs,  singing  with  grace  in  our  hearts  to  tlu^  Lord,  ^^'h:lls<>ever  we  do, 
may  it  be  done  in  the  name  of  the  Lord  Jesus,  giving  thanks  to  (iod  th(> 
Father  by  Him. 

May  the  divine  impulses  and  aspirations  ol*  this  day  inlluenee  us  during 
th(;  week,  so  that  in  nur  daily  business,  in  the  social  cirel(\  and  in  our 
hom(;-Iife,  we    may    a<lorn    the  doctrine   of    (iod   our    Saviour.        May    the 

634 


SABBATH  EVENING. 

name  and  love  of  Jesus  abide  with  us  as  a  constant  inspiration  and 
power  in  all  the  ways  of  our  life,  until  the  veil  is  lifted  and  we  behold 
His  face  in  glory. 

O  most  gracious  Father,  forgive  the  sins  of  this  day,  the  sins  of  our  holiest 
services,  for  the  sake  of  Jesus  our  Advocate  and  Redeemer.  Help  us  to 
forget  the  past,  and  press  toward  the  mark  for  the  prize  of  the  high  calling 
of  God  in  Christ  Jesus.  Oh,  grant  that  through  the  ordinances  of  thy  house, 
the  sanctified  trials  and  afflictions  of  life,  and  the  Holy  Spirit,  we  may  reach 
the  blessed  experience  of  the  apostle,  and  with  him  exclaim,  "Yea,  doubtless, 
and  we  count  all  things  but  loss  for  the  excellency  of  the  knowledge  of 
Christ  Jesus  our  Lord  .  .  .  that  we  may  win  Christ  and  be  found  in  Him,  not 
having  our  own  righteousness,  which  is  of  the  laAv,  but  that  which  is  through 
the  faith  of  Christ,  the  righteousness  which  is  of  God  by  fiiith." 

Look  in  compassion  upon  Thy  servants  who  have  been  deprived  of  the 
privileges  of  the  sanctuary,  this  day  by  sickness  or  infirmity.  Give  them 
such  tokens  of  thy  presence  and  blessings  in  their  homes,  as  shall  cause  them 
to  know  that  Thou  art  not  confined  to  temples  made  with  hands.  Have 
mercy  upon  all  who  willfully  ab-eut  themselves  from  public  worship  and 
I)rofane  Thy  Sabbaths,  and  turn  their  feet  to  Thy  sanctuary.  Be  gracious  to 
all  that  mourn  in  Zion.  Give  them  beauty  for  ashes,  the  oil  of  joy  for 
mourning,  and  the  garment  of  praise  for  the  spirit  of  heaviness. 

May  the  word  preached  be  blessed  to  the  conversion  of  sinners,  and  the 
upbuilding  of  Thy  people  in  their  mo-t  holy  faith.  Remember  those  who 
have  gone  forth  to  preach  among  the  Gentiles  the  unsearchable  riches  of 
Christ,  and  bless  their  labors  for  the  salvation  of  souls;  and  be  Thou  a 
sanctuary  to  them  among  the  heathen.  Hasten,  O  Lord,  that  promised  day, 
when  the  heathen  shall  be  given  to  Christ  for  His  inheritance,  and  the 
uttermost  parts  of  the  earth  for  His  possession. 

And  now  we  commit  ourselves  to  Thy  fatherly  care,  and  protection  for  the 
night.  Grant  that  when  we  lie  down  to  the  last  sleep  of  earth,  it  may  be  in 
Jesus,  and  that  the  hymns  of  praise  in  these  temples  made  with  hands,  may 
be  prolonged  in  the  holier  worship  of  heaven,  where  with  all  the  redeemed 
we  shall  unite  in  ascriptions  of  honor  and  glory  to  Him  that  sitteth  upon  the 
throne,  and  unto  the  Lamb  forever  and  ever.     Amen.

®aniiai|  Q^armng. 


O  God,  Tliy  mercies  are  new  every  morning,  and  Thy  faithfulness  every 
night.  Day  unto  day  uttereth  sj^eech,  and  night  unto  night  showeth 
knowledge,  of  Thy  goodness  and  patience  and  power.  We  bless  Thee  for 
the  care  and  protection  of  the  night.  We  gather  about  our  family  altar,  as 
parents  and  cliildren ;  and  unite  in  this  grateful  offering  of  pi'aise  to  the 
Father  of  all  our  mercies  in  Christ  Jesus  our  Lf)rd. 

But  Tiiou  hast  magnified  Thy  word  above  all  Thy  name;  and  we  can 
never  be  sufficiently  thankful  for  the  revelation  of  Thy  will  in  the  Bible. 
We  thank  Thee  for  the  gifl  of  Thy  Son  our  Saviour,  through  whom  we  have 
rcdemj)tion  in  His  blood,  even  the  forgiveness  of  sin.  We  thank  Thee  for 
the  Holy  Spirit,  to  enlighten,  comfort,  and  sanctify  us  through  tlie  truth  as 
it  is  in  Jesus.  Oh,  may  we  bear  with  us,  into  the  cares  and  business  of  the 
week,  the  savor  of  Thy  grace,  and  tlu^  holy  influences  and  incentives  of  the 
Sabbatli  and  the  sanctuary.  Let  those  whom  we  meet  in  the  market-places, 
in  tlie  shop,  in  the  store,  in  the  social  circle,  in  the  yet  nearer  circle  of  home, 
take  knowledge  of  us  that  we  have  been  with  Jesus;  and  may  our  profiting 
appear  unto  all  men.  May  we  put  on,  as  the  elect  of  God,  holy  and  beloved, 
bowels  of  mercies,  kindness,  humbleness  of  mind,  meekness,  long-suffering, 

536 


MONDAY  MORNING. 

forbearing  one  another,  and  forgiving  one  another.     May  we  be  followers  of 
God,  as  dear  children. 

Be  with  us  this  day ;  guide  us  by  Thy  Spirit,  so  that  in  all  the  cares  and 
perplexities  of  life,  and  in  all  its  trials  and  sorrows,  we  may  look  to  Jesus, 
lest  w^e  should  become  weary  and  faint  in  our  minds.  May  we  have  grace  to 
take  up  our  cross  daily  and  follow  Jesus,  and  like  Him  to  bear  that  cross, 
despising  the  shame,  for  the  joy  that  is  set  before  us.  Oh,  grant  that  we 
may  live  every  day  as  pilgrims  on  their  way  to  glory.  May  we  rejoice  as 
though  we  rejoiced  not,  and  weep  as  though  we  wept  not,  and  buy  as  though 
we  possessed  not,  and  so  use  this  world  as  not  abusing  it ;  for  tlie  fashion  of 
it  passeth  aw^ay. 

O  Lord,  look  upon  all  the  children  of  men  with  a  Father's  compassion 
May  the  dead  hear  the  voice  of  the  Son  of  God,  and  live.  May  those  who 
a;4'  the  way  to  Zion,  find  the  way  to  the  cross  and  to  Jesus,  and  to  the  Kew 
J3rusalem.  Let  the  careless  sinner  be  startled  from  his  fatal  slumbers,  and 
tliie  from  the  wrath  to  come.  Let  the  rich  be  poor  in  spirit,  and  the  poor  bo 
made  rich  in  faith,  and  heirs  of  the  kingdom  which  Thou  hast  promised  to 
tt'.em  that  love  Thee. 

Bless  our  country,  O  Thou  Ruler  of  nations.  May  all  in  authority  fear 
God  and  work  righteousness.  May  we,  as  citizens  and  Christians,  seek  to 
elivate  those  alone  to  high  stations  in  the  Government  who  reverence  Thee 
and  keep  Thy  commandments.  May  we  become  more  and  more,  both  in 
name  and  in  reality,  a  Christian  people.  May  all  the  vast  resources  of  this 
great  country  be  given  to  Christ  and  His  kingdom. 

And  now  unto  Him  that  is  able  to  keep  us  from  falling,  and  to  present  us 
faultless  before  the  presence  of  his  glory  with  exceeding  joy,  to  the  only  wise 
God  our  Saviour,  be  glory  and  majesty,  dominion  and  power,  both  now  and 
forever.     Amen.

O  Lord  God  of  Hosts,  hear  our  prayer  I  Oive  car,  O  God  of  Jacob! 
Behold,  O  God,  our  Shiehl,  and  look  upon  the  face  of  Thine  Anointed.  We 
come  in  His  all-prevailing  name.  We  have  nothing  of  our  o\vn  to  plead — 
no  works,  no  worthiness,  no  promises.  We  would  make  mention  of  the 
righteousness  of  Jesus,  and  of  His  alone. 

As  we  bow  before  Thee  in  our  evening  worship,  we  are  conscious  of 
manifold  sins  and  shortcomings.  We  have  contracted  defilement  in  the 
business  and  cares  and  jileasures  of  the  day  that  is  gone.  We  have,  in  the 
temper  of  our  minds,  in  the  affections  of  our  hearts,  in  the  aim  and  tenor  of 
our  life,  come  short  of  Thy  glory.  AVc  have  been  ungrateful  to  Thee,  and 
uncharitable  to  man.  We  have  sinned,  in  thought,  word,  and  deed.  Have 
mercy  ui)on  us,  O  Lord,  according  to  Thy  loving-kindness;  according  to  the 
multitude  of  Thy  tender  mercies,  blot  out  our  ti'ansgressiou'^.  Wash  us 
thoroughly  from  our  inicpiities,  and  may  the  blood  of  Jesus  Christ  cleanse  us 
from  all  sin.  C'reate  in  us  clean  hearts,  and  renew  right  spirits  within  us.

and  purpose  of  our  life  into  complete  harmony  with  Thy  holy  will  in  Christ 
Jesus.  Withdraw  not  Thy  presence,  and  take  not  Thy  Holy  Spirit  from  us. 
\Yhether  we  are  called  to  do  Thy  will,  or  to  bear  it,  may  we  feel  that  our 
help  is  in  the  name  of  the  Lord  who  made  heaven  and  earth.  In  view  of 
our  spiritual  enemies,  clothe  us  with  the  whole  armor  of  God;  teach  our 
hands  to  war  and  our  fingers  to  fight;  and  in  the  conflicts  of  life,  assure  our 
hearts  that  we  shall  be  more  than  conquerors  through  Him  that  loved  us. 

O  Thou  who  art  God  over  all,  blessed  forevermore,  remember  with  us  all 
for  whom  Thou  hast  taught  us  to  pray.  Hear  the  sighing  of  the  needy; 
cause  the  widow's  heart  to  sing  for  joy;  and  in  Thee  may  the  fatherless  find 
mercy.  Give  all  needed  patience  and  comfort  to  the  sick  and  afiiicted,  and 
save  the  dying,  through  Jesus  Christ  our  Lord. 

Bless  us  as  a  nation,  in  all  the  interests  of  our  civil  and  religious 
institutions.  Let  glory  dwell  in  our  land,  and  upon  all  the  glory  be  Thou 
a  defence.  Bless  all  societies  and  agencies  employed  for  the  coming  of  Thy 
kingdom.  Call  in  the  Jews  with  the  fulness  of  the  Gentiles.  Say  to  the 
North,  Give  up,  and  to  the  South,  Keep  not  back;  and  hasten  the  time 
when  Christ  shall  take  possession  of  the  kingdoms  under  the  whole  heavens, 
and  reign  forever. 

With  thanksgiving  for  all  the  mercies  of  another  day,  and  the  forgiveness 
of  all  our  sins  through  Jesus  Christ,  we  will  both  lay  ourselves  doMn  in 
peace  and  sleep ;  for  Thou,  Lord,  only  makest  us  dwell  in  safety ;  and  all  we 
ask  is  in  the  name  of  Jesus,  to  whom,  with  the  Father  and  the  Holy  Spirit, 
be  endless  praises.     Amen,

O  Lord,  Thou  art  good,  and  Thou  doest  good.  Thou  makcst  the  outgoings 
of  the  morning  and  evening  to  rejoice.  Unite  our  hearts  to  fear  Thy  nam?, 
and  grant  that  we  may  worship  Thee  in  the  spirit,  and  rejoice  in  Christ 
Jesus,  and  have  no  confidence  in  the  flesh.  At  the  heginning  of  anotlior 
day,  we  seek  together  as  a  family  Thy  blessing  and  grace. 

Wc  thank  Thee  for  the  mercies  of  another  night,  and  for  the  light  and 
goodness  which  encompass  us  this  morning.  Bless  the  Lord,  O  our  souls,  and 
forget  not  all  his  benefits:  Who  forgiveth  all  our  iniquities,  who  healeth  all 
our  diseases,  who  redeemeth  our  life  from  destruction,  wiio  crowneth  \v<  with 
loving-kindness  and  tender  mercies.  Truly,  O  T>ord,  Tliou  hast  not  left 
thyself  without  witness,  in  that  Thou  hast  been  doing  us  good,  and  giving  u- 
rain  from  heaven,  and  fruitful  seasons,  filling  our  hearts  with  fxvl  nnd 
gladness. 

As  we  are  about  to  enter  upon  th(>  duties  and  conflicts  of  tliis  new  day, 
we  look  devoutly  and  trustingly  to  tlie  hills  from  whence  cometh  our  helj),

TUESDAY  MORNING. 

Our  help  cometh  from  the  Lord  who  made  heaveu  and  earth.  Let  Thy 
grace  be  sufficient  for  the  duties  and  events  of  this  day.  As  liusbands  or 
wives,  parents  or  children,  sisters  or  brothers,  may  we  so  conduct  ourselves 
in  our  several  relations  and  callings,  that  we  may  adorn  the  doctrine  of  God 
our  Saviour  in  all  things.  Let  all  bitterness,  and  wrath,  and  anger,  and 
clamor,  and  evil  speaking  be  put  away  from  us,  with  all  malice,  and  may  we 
be  kind  one  to  another,  tender-hearted,  forgiving  one  another,  even  as  God 
for  Christ's  sake  hath  forgiven  us.  And  oh,  grant  us  grace  to  be  followers 
of  him  who  was  meek  and  lowly  in  heart,  who  pleased  not  Himself,  who 
went  about  doing  good,  who  said.  My  meat  is  to  do  the  will  of  Him  that 
sent  me,  and  to  finish  His  work. 

O  Father,  bless  us  as  a  family.  May  every  one  of  our  household  be  found 
in  Christ,  and  members  of  the  household  of  faith,  and  heirs  of  the  heavenly 
kingdom.  Oh,  let  none  of  those  perish  whom  we  love  as  our  own  souls. 
Keep  them  as  the  apple  of  Thine  eye;  hide  them  under  the  shadow  of 
Thy  wing. 

Let  grace  and  peace  be  multiplied  to  all  who  have  obtained  like  precious 
faith  with  us;  and  if  Thou  art  pleased  to  try  that  faith,  may  the  trial  be 
found  unto  praise,  and  glory,  and  honor,  at  the  appearing  of  Jesus  Christ. 
Remember  in  great  mercy  the  poor  and  neglected,  and  those  who  cast  off 
Thy  fear,  and  live  in  sin,  without  Christ  and  without  hope  in  the  world.  Oh, 
teach  transgressors  Thy  ways,  and  let  sinners  be  converted  unto  Thee. 
Destroy  the  works  of  the  Devil.  Let  Thy  kingdom  come.  May  princes 
come  out  of  Egypt.  May  Ethiopia  stretch  forth  her  hands  unto  God.  And 
may  all  nations  whom  Thou  hast  made  come  and  worship  before  Thee.  For 
Thine,  O  God,  is  the  power ;  and  Thine  shall  be  the  glory,  through  our  Lord 
and  Saviour.     Amen.

O  Lord,  our  Lord,  how  excellent  is  thy  name  in  all  the  earth,  who  hast 
set  Thy  glory  above  the  heavens.  Our  grateful  hearts  would  surround  Thy 
throne,  to  offer  up  our  evening  incense  of  praise  and  thanksgiving.  We 
c:)nie  with  our  children,  before  Thee,  our  common  Father,  from  whom  cometh 
every  good  and  perfect  gift.  We  bless  Thee  for  all  thy  kindness  and  love  to 
us  this  day:  for  our  life,  and  health,  food  and  raiment,  home  and  friends. 
We  thank  Thee  for  the  sweet  assurance  that  as  a  father  pitieth  his  children, 
so  the  Lord  pitieth  them  that  fear  Him.  Above  all  other  gifts  do  \\e  praise 
Thee,  that  Thou  hast  called  us  to  be  Thy  children  in  Christ  Jesus.  Oh, 
remember  us  with  the  favor  Thou  hast  to  Thy  people.  Let  our  Father's 
blessing  come  upon  us  this  ev^ening,  upoft  parents  and  children,  and  upon  all 
wlio  dwell  under  this  roof 

O  Father,  forgive  us  the  sins  of  the  past  day — sins  of  temper,  of 
worldliness,  of  unbelief  in  departing  from  tJie  living  God.  Oh,  hide  Thy 
face  from  our  sins,  and  blot  out  all  our  iniquities,  through  Jesus  Christ, 
whose  blood  elean>eth  from  all  sin.  Cast  us  not  away  from  Thy  ])resenee, 
and  take  not  Thy  Holy  Spirit  from  us.  Restore  unto  us  the  joys  of  Thy 
salvation,  and  uphold  us  with  Thy  free  Spirit.  Then  will  we  teach  trans- 
gressors Thy  way,  and  sinners  shall  be  converted  unto  Thcc. 

O  thou  that  dwellcst  in  the  heavens,  look  down  upon  us  as  a  I'amily,  and 
give  us  at  the  close  of  the  day  a  father's  forgiveness,  and  a  father's  blessing. 
May  the  ties  of  blood  and  of  mutual  dependence,  which  unite  us  in  our 
home,  be  sweetened  and  hallowed  by  the  bonds  of  grace,  that  we  may  all 
be  foUov/crs  of  Thee  as  dear  children,  and  members  of  the  household  of 
fiith,  and  may  at  length  reach  our  r'athcr's  house  in  lieavtii.

men;  and  having  tasted  that  tlie  Lord  is  gracious,  may  we  ever,  by  personal 
effort,  as  well  as  by  a  holy  and  joyous  Christian  life,  be  saying  to  those 
around  us.  Oh,  taste  and  see  that  the  Lord  is  good ;  blessed  is  the  man  that 
trusteth  in  Him.  And  let  our  endeavors  be  successful  in  winning  souls  to 
Christ,  that  they  may  be  saved  from  the  second  death.  Especially,  O  Lord, 
do  we  pray  for  our  friends,  that  they  may  all  become  the  friends  of  Jesus, 
fellow-heirs  with  us  of  the  grace  of  life,  and  fellow-laborers  with  us  in  the 
Lord's  vineyard. 

Let  the  rising  generation  be  a  seed  to  serve  Thee.  Excite  them  by  the 
command,  Remember  now  thy  Creator  in  the  days  of  thy  youth ;  and 
encourage  them  by  the  promise,  I  love  them  that  love  me,  and  they  that 
seek  me  early  shall  find  me. 

O  Thou,  Father  of  all  mercies,  and  God  of  all  comfort,  have  pity  upon 
all  men.  Smile  upon  our  country,  and  fill  our  churches  with  Thy  glory. 
Be  a  father  to  the  fatherless;  plead  the  cause  of  the  widow;  comfort  and 
relieve  the  sick ;  be  near  the  dying,  and  prepare  them  for  the  eternal  future, 
through  Jesus  Christ  our  Lord. 

O  Jesus,  Thou  Son  of  God,  and  Saviour  of  the  world,  have  mercy  upon 
the  millions  who  are  yet  sitting  in  darkness,  and  in  the  region  and  shadow 
of  death;  and  to  every  section  of  our  globe,  say,  through  Thy  preached 
gospel,  and  the  descending  Spirit,  Arise,  shine,  for  thy  light  is  come,  and  the 
glory  of  the  Lord  is  risen  upon  thee.  Raise  up  and  send  forth  many  more 
laborers;  for  the  harvest  truly  is  great.  May  all  who  profess  Thy  name, 
pray,  and  give,  and  work  for  the  coming  of  Thy  kingdom.  Blessed  be  the 
Lord  God  of  Israel,  who  only  doeth  wondrous  things!  Blessed  be  His 
glorious  name  forever,  and  let  the  whole  earth  be  filled  with  His  glory ! 

And  now,  O  Jesus,  abide  with  us,  for  it  is  evening,  and  the  day  is  far 
spent.  May  we  sleep  in  peace,  and  wake  in  the  morning  to  sing  of  Thy 
mercy.  Be  with  us  through  all  the  changing  scenes  of  life ;  and  when  heart 
and  flesh  fail,  be  Thou  the  strength  of  our  hearts  and  our  portion  forever. 
And  through  eternal  ages  may  it  be  our  privilege  to  unite  with  those  who 
are  singing,  unto  Him  that  loved  us,  and  washed  us  from  our  sics  in  His  own 
blood,  and  hath  made  us  kings  and  priests  unto  God,  and  to  His  Father — to 
Him  be  glory  and  dominion  forever  and  ever.     Amen.

Almighty  and  everlasting  God,  wc  would  adore  and  praise  Thee  this  night, 
as  the  God  and  Father  of  our  Lord  and  Saviour  Jesus  Christ:  and  we  would 
draw  near  to  Thee  by  faith,  and  hold  communion  with  Thee,  as  our  reconciled 
Father  in  Ilim.  We  have,  indeed,  offended  Thee  times  and  ways  without 
number,  and  are  by  nature  children  of  wrath,  even  as  others ;  but  behold, 
wliat  manner  of  love  the  Father  hath  bestowed  upon  us,  that  we  should  be 
called  the  sons  of  God.  We  give  Thee,  O  God,  all  i)niir^e  and  glory  for  this 
assurance  of  Thy  love :  we  bless  Thee,  that  when  we  were  without  hope,  and 
without  help.  Thine  own  Eternal  and  well-beloved  Son  gave  Himself  for  our 
sins,  that  He  might  deliver  us  from  this  present  evil  world,  according  to  the 
will  of  God  our  Father :  and  we  rejoice  to  know,  that  Thou  hast  raised  Him 
from  the  dead,  made  Him  head  over  all  things  to  His  Church,  and  exalted 
Him  a  Prince  and  a  Saviour,  to  give  repentance  and  forgiveness  of  sins  to 
Israel.  May  we,  indeed,  be  children  of  God,  by  faith  in  Jesus  Christ:  may 
we  be  called  by  His  grace,  and  se])arated  by  His  S])irit  for  His  service.  INIay 
we  know  the  trutli  as  it  is  in  Jesus,  and  may  tlie  trutli  make  us  free.  May 
we  enjoy  the  glorious  liberty  of  the  children  of  God.     May  we  hold  fast  the

form  of  sound  words,  which  we  have  heard  in  faith  and  love  which  is  in 
Christ  Jesus. 

Be  pleased,  O  God,  to  reveal  Thy  Son  in  us,  and  give  us  the  spirit  of 
wisdom  and  revelation  in  the  knowledge  of  Jesus  Christ :  forbid  that  any  of 
us  should  come  short  through  unbelief.  Lord,  help  our  unbelief:  increase 
our  faith,  and  bring  us  more  under  its  influence,  that  our  lives  may  be  spent 
to  Thy  glory,  to  the  honor  of  our  Christian  profession,  and  to  our  own  peace 
and  comfort.  Forbid,  O  Lord,  that  any  of  us  should  deceive  ourselves,  by  a 
form  of  godliness,  without  the  power  of  it ;  but  may  we  all,  assisted  by  Thy 
grace,  press  forward  to  the  blessed  experience  and  full  enjoyment  of  Thy 
service. 

Be  pleased,  O  God,  to  hear  our  prayers  in  behalf  of  the  sick,  the  afflicted, 
and  the  dying :  be  a  present  help  in  every  time  of  need.  For  our  friends 
and  brethren,  we  w^ould  also  put  up  our  supplications  before  Thee,  O  Father 
of  mercies !  May  grace  and  peace  from  God  the  Father,  and  our  Lord  Jesus 
Christ,  be  extended  to  all  men.  May  all  people  be  blessed  in  Jesus,  and  may 
all  call  Him  blessed.  AVith  grateful  hearts  for  all  Thy  goodness  to  us  in- 
dividually, and  as  a  family,  we  would  this  evening  commend  ourselves  to  the 
protection  of  Him,  who  neither  slumbers  nor  sleeps.  May  we  be  raised  ap 
in  the  morning  in  health,  and  in  soundness  of  mind,  ready  and  willing  to 
devote  our  lives  anew  to  the  service  and  glory  of  our  God.  Accept  oiir 
humble  worship,  and  forgive  all  our  sins  for  Christ's  sake — to  whom, 
w^ith  Thee,  O  Father,  and  the  Holy  Ghost,  be  all  glory  forever  and

liast  bestowed  upon  us  many  temporal  and  spiritual  blessings.  Thou  liast

difficulty,  and  comforted  us  in  sorrow.  And  when  we  look  back  on  the  way 
by  which  Thou  hast  led  us,  we  may  truly  say  that  goodness  and  mercy  have 
followed  us  all  the  days  of  our  lives.  But,  O  Lord,  we  must  confess,  with 
shame  and  sorrow,  that  thougli  Tliou  lia^t  nourished  and  brouglit  us  up  a.s

doing, for  that  better  country  which  the  Saviour  is  preparing  for  them  that 
love  Him.  O  Lord,  let  Thy  kingdom  come.  Let  Thy  will  be  done  by  us,

from  above.  May  the  dying  die  in  the  Lord,  that  death  may  be  to  them  the 
entrance  into  everlasting  life.  Be  very  gracious,  O  Lord,  to  our  friends  and 
relatives.  Our  heart's  desive  suid  prayer  for  tlieir  Jr,  that  they  may  be  saved. 
Dwell  in  this  family.  Be  TLoii  the  God  or  each  member  of  it,  and  make  us

of  Thy  sparing  mercy ;  for  inicjuities,  we  confess,  abound  amongst  lis.  Do 
Thou  blot  out  all  our  transgressions.  Hide  Thy  face  from  our  sins,  and 
teach  lis  to  know  the  blessedness  of  the  man  whom  Thou  choosest  and  causest 
to  approach  unto  Thee.  We  bless  Thee,  that  Thou  hast  no  ])leasure  in  the 
death  of  him  that  dieth,  but  rather  thyt  all  should  turn  unto  Thee  and  live. 
Turn  us,  O  Lord,  and  Ave  shall  be  turned;  draw  us,  and  we  shall  run  after 
Thee ;  heal  us,  and  we  shall  be  healed ;  save  Thou  us,  and  we  shall  be  saved. 
For  the  sake  of  Thy  dear  Son,  who  died  for  our  sins,  do  Thou  heal  all  our 
})ackslidings,  receive  us  graciously,  and  love  us  freely.  We  rejoice  that  He 
died,  the  just  for  the  unjust,  that  He  might  bring  us  unto  God.  We  bless 
Thee  for  the  hopes  and  })roirises  of  the  gospel.  Oh,  teach  us,  and  enable  us 
to  improve  diligently  the  means  of  grace,  with  which  we  are  so  highly 
favored,  ever  remembering  that  to  whom  much  is  given,  of  them  much  shall

ourselves,  at  all  times  and  in  all  circumstances,  that  we  may  not  grieve  Thy 
Holy  Spirit. 

Gracious  God;  our  Heavenly  Father,  do  Thou  shed  abroad  Thy  love  in 
our  hearts  by  the  Holy  Ghost,  and  inspire  us  with  a  hatred  of  everything 
that  is  displeasing  to  Thee.  To  this  end,  bless  to  us  those  religious  services  in 
which  as  a  family  we  engage.  May  we  wait  upon  Thee  in  them  with  pre- 
pared hearts,  that  we  may  be  acceptable  worshippers  in  Thy  sight.  Enable 
us  to  hear  Thy  word  with  due  attention,  open  our  minds  to  all  its  instructions, 
and  bow  our  hearts  to  humble  obedience.  Help  us  by  Thy  grace,  to  show 
mercy  and  speak  truth,  to  do  righteousness  and  to  follow  peace.  Fill  us  with 
kind  and  charitable  dispositions  towards  each  other,  and  let  the  peace  of  God 
rule  in  our  hearts.  May  we  ever  keep  our  tongue  from  evil  and  our  lips  from 
speaking  guile.  And  may  the  very  God  of  peace  himself  sanctify  us  wholly ; 
and  we  pray  God  that  our  whole  spirit,  and  soul,  and  body  may  be  preserved 
blameless  unto  the  coming  of  the  Lord  Jesus. 

Be  pleased,  O  Lord,  to  clothe  Thy  priests  with  righteousness,  and  hasten 
the  time  when  every  knee  shall  bow  to  Jesus,  and  every  tongue  shall  confess 
that  He  is  Lord  to  the  glory  of  God  the  Father.  And,  O  God  of  love  and 
mercy,  do  Thou  spread  among  Christians  of  every  profession,  a  spirit  of  for- 
bearance, and  candor,  and  love,  that  all  may  endeavor  to  keep  the  unity  of 
the  spirit  in  the  bond  of  peace.  Be  fiivorable  to  our  beloved  laijd.  Bless 
cur  friends,  and  give  them  an  interest  in  the  salvation  of  Christ.  Look  in 
mercy  upon  the  sick,  and  sanctify  their  afflictions  to  them.  Visit  the  dying 
with  salvation,  and  teach  us  to  remember  the  shortness  of  time  and  the  never- 
ending  importance  of  eternity.  Bless  tho  young  with  teachable  minds  and 
sanctified  hearts,  that  they  may  remember  Thee  their  Creator.  Watch  over 
us  this  night.  May  we  lie  down  impressed  with  a  sense  of  Thy  goodness  ; 
may  we  awake  in  Thy  fear,  enjoying  Thy  favor,  and  rise  with  renewed 
strength  to  discharge  the  duties  of  life  and  run  the  way  of  Thy  command- 
ments. Hear  our  prayer,  forgive  our  sins,  sanctify  our  natures,  and  save  our 
souls  for  Christ's  sake,  to  Whom,  w4th  Thee,  O  Father,  and  the  Holy  Ghost, 
be  all  glory,  forever  and  ever.     Amen.

Great  God,  to  whom  the  darkness  and  the  light  are  both  :alike,  we  draw 
nigh  to  Thee  v.ith  confidence,  in  the  name  of  Jesus  Christ,  our  adorable 
Redeemer.  We  thank  Thee,  that  Thou  hast  not  left  us  to  the  darkness  of 
nature,  but  hast  given  us  Tliy  holy  Word  ijs  a  lamp  to  our  feet  and  a  light 
to  our  path.  Help  us,  O  Lord,  ever  to  walk  in  Thy  ways.  We  thank  Thee 
for  Thy  care  through  the  nightj  and  for  all  the  blessings  with  which  Thou 
art  crowning  our  lives  on  this  day.  We  confess  to  Tliee,  the  heart-searching 
God,  all  our  manifold  sins.  We  mourn  our  unfaithfulness,  and  the  evil  of 
our  hearts.  Create  within  us  clean  hearts,  O  God,  ::nd  renew  within  us  right 
spirits. 

Give  us  Thy  promised  Comforter,  to  enlighten,  to  guide,  to  restrain,  to 
quicken,  to  comfort,  and  strengthen  us  this  day  as  Thou  seest  we  need. 
Oh,  make  plain  the  path  of  duty  for  our  feet,  and  uphold  us  that  we  fall  not. 
So  fdl  us  witli  Thy  good  Spirit  that  we  may  be  delivered  from  all  ]u*ide  and 
passion,  from  all  envy  and  ill-will,  from  evil  thinking  and  evil  speaking;  and 
give  us  that  fervent  charity  which  covers  a  nniltitude  of  sins.  Make  our 
home  ha})py,  and  our  lives  useful.     We  would  not  live  unto  ourselves,  but

unto  Him  who  loved  us,  and  gave  Himself  for  us.  Help  us  in  all  our 
domestic  duties,  that  we  may  glorify  Thee.  Let  our  life  and  health  be 
precious  in  Thy  sight.  Bless  our  beloved  friends,  wherever  they  are,  with 
the  rich  blessings  of  Thy  providence  and  grace.  Remember  the  poor,  the 
suffering,  the  distressed  of  every  class,  and  be  to  them  a  very  present  help  in 
trouble.  Pour  out  Thy  Spirit  richly  upon  Thy  Church.  Bless  all  her 
agencies  for  good.  Give  Thy  word  success  everywhere.  Revive  pure  and 
undefiled  religion.  Increase  the  number  of  laborers  in  Thy  vineyard,  and 
f  11  us  all  more  and  more  with  the  mind  that  was  in  Him,  who  went  about 
doing  good. 

Cause  our  land  to  rejoice  in  the  salvation  of  the  gospel.  Give  wisdom 
and  grace  to  our  rulers,  that  they  may  rule  in  Thy  fear;  and  incline  all 
the  people  to  walk  in  the  paths  of  truth  and  uprightness,  that  this  may 
be  Immanuel's  land.  Extend  the  knowledge  of  Thy  truth  to  the  nations  of 
the  earth,  and  bless  all  the  means  employed  to  enlighten  and  evangelize  the 
world ;  that  our  adorable  Redeemer  may  soon  be  acknowledged  everywhere 
as  King  of  kings  and  Lord  of  lords.  These  mercies  we  ask  for  His  name's 
sake.     Amen.

Our  Father  in  heaven,  we  reverently  draw  nigh  to  Thee  at  the  close  of 
another  day,  in  the  name  of  Jesus,  our  adorable  Redeemer.  As  the  shades 
of  evening  gather  around  us,  we  gather  at  the  mercy  seat,  and  look  up  with 
confidence.  Goodness  and  mercy  have  followed  us  all  this  day.  Thou  hast 
defended,  and  kept,  and  blest  us.  In  Thee  we  live,  and  move,  and  have  our 
being.  Oh,  help  us  to  live  to  the  honor  and  glory  of  Thy  name ;  to  show 
forth  Thy  praise,  not  only  with  our  lips,  but  by  living  obediently,  humbly, 
prayerfully  before  Thee,  filled  with  the  same  mind  which  was  in  our  blessed 
Redeemer.  We  confess  our  sins.  Thou,  O  Lord,  knowest  us  altogether — 
our  inner  and  our  outer  life;  and  we  rejoice  that  Thou  dost  know  us.  Pardon 
and  deliver  us  from  all  our  sins.  We  trust  the  merit  of  Thy  blood,  blessed 
Saviour ! 

''Nothing  in  our  hands  we  Imng; 
Simply  to  Tliy  cross  we  cling." 

Bless  the  labor  of  the  day,  that  through  our  feeble  instrumentality  the  cause 
of  truth  and  righteousness,  the  kingdom  of  our  Redeemer  may  daily  be  pro- 
moted.    Teach  us  so  to  number  our  days  that  wc  may  apply  our  hearts  unto

night.  We  ^vill  lay  us  down  in  peace  and  sleep,  because  Thou,  L(jrd,  makest 
us  to  dwell  in  safety.  Bless  our  beloved  friends.  Make  them  all  Thy  friends. 
Prosper  them,  and  grant  them  Thy  peace.  If  any  of  them  are  out  of  Christ, 
work  in  them  repentance,  and  lead  them  to  the  dear  Saviour.  Have  mercy 
upon  the  homes  that  have  no  family  altar,  no  God  and  Saviour,  where  parents 
and  children  walk  together  in  tLe  broad  road  that  leads  to  death.  Teach  us 
to  lead  souls  to  the  Fountain  that  cleanses  from  sin.  Remember  the  poor 
and  friendless,  the  sick  and  dying,  the  sorrowing  and  disconsolate.  Give 
them  beauty  for  ashes,  the  oil  of  joy  for  mo^jruing,  and  the  garment  of  praise 
for  the  spirit  of  heaviness. 

Bless  the  Church,  with  her  ministry,  and  ill  her  agencies  for  good. 
Revive  pure  and  undefiled  religion.  Cause  our  whole  land  to  rejoice 
in  Thy  salvation,  and  lead  all  nations  to  acknowledge  that  blessed  Saviour 
whom  we  adore,  and  to  Him,  with  the  Father  and  the  ever-blessed  Spirit, 
be  all  honor  and  oflorv,  world  without  end.     Amen.

Unto  Thee  lift  we  up  our  eyes,  O  Thou  that  dwellest  in  the  heavens.  Our 
voices  shalt  Thou  hear  in  the  morning ;  in  the  morning  will  we  direct  our 
prayer  unto  Thee,  and  will  look  up.  We  laid  us  down  and  slept,  and  we 
awoke,  for  Thou,  Lord,  didst  sustain  us.  The  pestilence,  that  walketh  in  the 
darkness,  has  not  visited  us.  We  gather  with  devout  and  thankful  hearts 
around  our  domestic  altar,  and  bring  to  Thee,  our  Heavenly  Father,  our 
morning  sacrifice  of  praise  and  thanksgiving.  Oh,  grant  us  Thy  Holy  Spirit, 
that  ours  may  be  the  sacrifice  of  a  broken  and  contrit?  heart.  We  confess 
our  sins,  but  Thou  art  the  God  of  mercy,  and,  blessed  be  Thy  holy  name,  the 
blood  of  Jesus  Christ,  Thy  Son,  cleanseth  from  all  sin. 

"  To  the  dear  fountain  of  Thy  blood,

Lamb  of  God,  tliat  takest  away  the  sin  of  the  world,  have  mercy  upon  us,

home  and  abroad,  may  Tliy  fear  this  day  be  before  our  eyes,  and  Thy  love 
be  in  our  hearts,  that  our  ways  may  please  Thee.  Prosper  us  in  our  lawful 
and  laudal)l('  undertakings.  Thy  blessing  maketh  rich,  and  addeth  no  sorrow. 
Make  us  a  blessing,  our  Father,  to  all   with   whom  we  associate  this  day.

SATURDAY  MORNING. 

Bless  our  neighbors  and  friends,  all  connected  with  us  by  ties  of  blood  and 
of  love.  Make  our  friends  Thy  friends,  by  giving  them  Thy  Holy  Sj^irit, 
and  adopting  them  into  Thy  family.  Remember  the  friendless  and  the  op- 
pressed, the  poor  and  the  needy,  the  destitute  and  the  afflicted,  the  sick  and 
the  dying.  Grant  unto  them  all  according  to  their  needs,  and  give  them  to 
see  that  Thou  dost  make  all  things  to  work  togethei  for  good  to  them  that 
love  Thee. 

We  pray  that  Thy  Spirit  may  be  poured  upon  our  schools,  and  colleges, 
and  seminaries  of  learning — upon  those  Avho  teach,  and  upon  all  who  are 
taught,  that  these  may  be  fountains  of  blessing  to  the  land  and  to  the  worid. 
Bless  our  land  ^\ith  wise  and  righteous  rulers,  with  just  and  salutary  laws, 
with  an  obedient  and  God-fearing  people.  Cause  us  to  be  the  light  and  the 
joy  of  the  whole  earth,  that  the  nations  may  walk  in  our  light ,  because  Christ 
is  our  King.  Revive  pure  religion  in  all  Thy  churches.  Deliver  Thy  people 
from  all  unbelief  and  worldliness,  from  ail  untruth  and  uncharitableness. 
Bless  all  who  labor  to  spread  the  gospel  and  lead  sinners  to  the  Saviour. 
Encourage  them,  and  suffer  not  their  faith  to  fail.  Remember,  especially, 
those  who  labor  amid  heathen  darkness ;  and  may  Christ  ever  be  the  light 
and  joy  of  their  souls. 

Grant  us,  O  Lord,  these  mercies,  with  all  else  that  Thou  seest  we 
need,  for  the  sake  of  Jesus  Chiist,  who  hath  taught  us  to  pray,  Our 
Father,  who  art  in  heaven ;  Hallowed  be  Thv  Xarae ;  Thy  kingdom 
come ;  Thy  will  be  dono  on  earth,  as  it  is  in  heaven ;  Give  us  this  day  our 
daily  bread ;  And  forgive  us  our  trespasses,  as  we  forgive  those  who  trespass 
against  us ;  And  lead  us  not  into  temptation ;  But  deliver  us  from  evil ;  Foi 
Thine  is  the  kingdom,  and  the  power,  and  the  glory,  for  ever  and  ever.

By  Thy  mercy,  O  Lord,  we  are  spared  to  the  close  of  another  day,  and  of 
another  week.  And,  as  our  days  on  earth  are  rapidly  passing  away,  we  i)ray 
that  we  may  be  diligent  in  the  work  of  life,  doing  well  whatsoever  we  do, 
honoring  God  in  our  dail}*  life,  and  furthering  the  interests  of  our  blessed 
Redeemer's  kingdom.  Forgive,  we  humbly  pray  Thee,  the  sins  of  this  day, 
and  of  this  week.  Deliver  us  from  ingratitude,  and  from  foro;etfulness  of  our 
Heavenly  Father,  the  Giver  of  every  good  gift.  Thou  art  slow  to  anger,  and 
of  great  mercy.  Have  mercy  upon  us,  O  God,  according  to  Thy  loving- 
kindness ;  and,  according  to  the  multitude  of  Thy  tender  mercies,  blot  out  all 
our  transgressions.  Give  us  more  and  more  of  Thy  Holy  S])irit,  that  amid 
the  bounties  of  Thy  providence,  and  ths  richer  blessings  of  Thy  grace,  our 
hearts  may  ascend  to  Thee  in  gratitude,  and  our  lives  show  forth  Thy 
praise. 

Dear  Jesus,  abide  witli  us  in  our  home,  and  may  Thy  love  fill 
our  hearts.  In  times  of  darkness  be  our  Light.  In  our  sorrow 
cheer  us;  when  we  are  tempted,  succor  us.  Be  our  Rock  and  Refuge,

privileges  of  the  coming  Sabbath ;  that  we  may  be  in  the  Spirit  on  the  Lord's 
day.  Bless  the  instruction  of  the  fjimily,  and  of  the  Sabbath-school,  and 
assist  all  who  teach  and  preach  in  the  name  of  Jesus,  that  they  may  do  it  in 
the  demonstration  of  the  Spirit,  and  with  power.  On  all  Thy  flocks  Thy 
Spirit  pour.  Deliver  Thy  people  from  ignorance  and  error  and  prejudice, 
and  unbelief,  and  world liness.  Lead  sinners  to  the  Saviour.  Have  mercy 
upon  all  who  have  a  name  to  live  but  are  dead,  and  quicken  them.  Re- 
member, in  Thy  tender  mercy,  the  needy,  the  suffering,  and  the  disconsolate. 
Make  us  like  our  Saviour  in  all  the  tenderness  of  His  soul  as  we  mingle  with 
the  sons  and  daughters  of  sorrow\ 

Deliver  our  land  from  all  the  evils  that  threaten.  Make  our  rulers  to  fear 
Thee,  and  cause  the  people  to  turn  from  their  sins  to  the  living  God.  We 
commend  us  into  Thy  holy  keej^ing.  Angel  of  the  Covenant,  watch  over  us. 
Refresh  us,  that  we  may,  with  thankful  and  joyous  hearts,  enter  upon  the 
service  of  God  on  the  holy  Sabbath,  and  be  fitted  for  greater  usefulness  on 
earth,  and  for  all  the  blessedness  of  the  everlasting  Sabbath.  This  we  beg 
for  Jesus'  sake. 

Our  Father,  who  art  in  heaven ;  Hallowed  be  Thy  Name ;  Thy  kingdom 
come ;  Thy  will  be  done  on  earth,  as  it  is  in  heaven ;  Give  us  this  day  our 
daily  bread ;  And  forgive  us  our  trespasses,  as  we  forgive  those  who  trespass 
against  us ;  And  lead  us  not  into  temptation  ;  But  deliver  us  from  evil ;  For 
Thine  is  the  kingdom,  and  the  power,  and  the  glory,  for  ever  and  ever. 
Amen.
